Hardware Installations and Upgrades
2.1
Before You Begin
Before working with your server product, closely review the Safety Information at the beginning of this
document.
NOTE
: Prior to servicing the compute module or chassis, power down the server, unplug all peripheral
devices and the AC power cords.
2.1.1
Tools and Supplies Needed
•
Phillips* (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)
•
T30 Torx bit screwdriver
•
Flat head screwdriver

Needle nosed pliers
•
Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
2.1.2
System Reference
All references to left, right, front, top, and bottom assume that the reader is facing the front of the chassis
as it would be positioned for normal operation.
2.2
Cable Routing
Each compute module is self-contained and can be hot swapped without any impact to other compute
modules. When you add or remove components from the compute module enclosure, ensure that cables
are routed correctly before plugging in the compute module back into the chassis. Use caution to ensure
that cables or wires are not pinched and that the airflow from the fans is not blocked. Use the figures
below to determine the correct cable routing.
Section 2.2 applies to both server boards.
