Maintenance and Component Installation
This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To
prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part
numbers given.
Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the
system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.
3.1 Removing Power
Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This
step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components or when replacing
a non-redundant power supply.
1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the
power strip or outlet. (If your system has more than one power supply, remove the AC
power cords from all power supply modules.)
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s).
3.2 Accessing the System
The 227GTS has a latch to remove the node that allows access to the components.
Check that all ventilation openings in the chassis are clear and unobstructed.
Removing the Motherboard from Chassis
1. Press the latch outwards on both sides and pull-out using both the handles the same
time to release the motherboard from the chassis.
