Install an SMOD
This is a cold-service component. Power down the system and disconnect the AC power cables
from the server before performing this procedure.
See
“Preparing the Server for Component Replacement” on page 101 .
2.
If you are replacing the SMOD, transfer the RAID HBA, ESM, and USB flash drive
(if present) to the new replacement SMOD.
3.
Ensure that the handles on the SMOD are in their fully open position.
a.
Access the SMOD directly from the back of the server.
b.
To unlock the SMOD handles, squeeze together the release latches on the
end of both handles.
c.
To open, rotate both handles downward to their fully-open position.
4.
Orient the SMOD with the handles facing away from the server and the
connectors facing toward the open slot in the server.
Caution -
The SMOD is heavy. Be prepared to hold it firmly when it is clear of the slot.
