Replacing the SAS Front Panel Board
The SAS Front Panel (SFP) board provides an interface to the controls at the front of
the system, the power interconnect for the server board, the USB2 and Serial B
interface, and the front-panel LEDs. It also houses the optional hardware RAID 5
components and optional SMART Embedded USB Solid-State Drive (eUSB SSD).
To replace the SFP board, the following components must be removed:
• The chassis top cover
• All cable connections on the SFP board and selected connections from other board
components, such as optional 4xGbE LAN card cables connected to the front panel
• Add-in Card Riser Assembly
• PCI fan assembly
• CPU fan assembly and air duct
Caution:
Before replacing any of the boards on the NSC2U Server, you must first take the
server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system, turn off
the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the power cord(s) from the
system or wall outlet.
When handling the SFP board, observe the normal safety and ESD precautions. (See
Appendix A, “Safety Information”
for more information.)
1. Remove the chassis cover and processor air duct. For instructions, see
2. Remove the add-in card riser assembly. For instructions, see
