Hardware Installation
This section provides detailed instructions on how to remove, install, or replace system devices.
Preparation
Riser/PCI Card
System Fans
Drive Bays
Power Supply
Memory
Processor and Heatsink
Caution: Modules are Electrostatic Sensitive. A small electrostatic discharge
(ESD) can damage server components. An ESD-damaged module or PCI card
might not fail immediately, but over time it could become worse, possibly
causing an intermittent problem. Be very careful to handle the module or PCI
card ONLY by the edges. DO NOT touch the gold/silver edge-connectors or
any of the components on the system board. Leave the new module or PCI
card in the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Place the original
module or PCI card in an antistatic bag immediately after removing it from
the system.
Caution: The system board conforms to the PCI 2.2 specification. This
requires 3.3v standby for all PCI slots, DIMM banks, and PS/2 outputs
(KB/PS/2 Mouse). Always remember to unplug the AC power cord before
adding any PCI cards, memory, or plugging/unplugging the keyboard or
mouse. Otherwise, the system may automatically power up when adding the
component. This could also damage the system board or the component you
are adding and is not covered under warranty.
Warning: If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat
sink on the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn,
be careful when removing or installing server board components that are
located near the processors.
Preparation
Complete the following steps before removing or installing hardware.
1. Turn off the server, and unplug the power cord from the power supply, or the server could
accidentally start.
2. Remove all external data cables from the system.
3. Ground yourself.
4. Remove the access panel. (See Access Panel.)
