Chapter 5
5. System Serverboard Information
This chapter includes best practice procedures to work with a node board in the H2106-G7 chassis,
install memory DIMMs, PCIe expansion cards and hard disk drives.
A layout and quick reference chart is included in this chapter for your reference. See “Installing
Memory” on page 37 .
Note: Some software products are protected with software license keys derived from the
Media Access Control (MAC) Ethernet address. If your system requires the replacement of a node
board, the MAC Ethernet address changes. If you are using such a product, you must request a
new license key after replacing the node board. Contact your local customer support office:

Caution: Install the chassis cover after you have completed accessing the components inside the
server to maintain proper airflow and cooling for the system.
Handling the Node Board
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electrostatic-sensitive devices inside the
H2106-G7 server. Use the ESD precautions described below when you handle printed circuit
boards or other components in the system. The following measures are generally sufficient to
protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
