5-2 Component Installation
The 5086B-TRF has a unique design that sets it apart from most server systems.
Processors are installed into four CPU boards, which are installed to a baseboard
and connect to each other with bridge boards. The following procedures should be
followed in order to access the system to add or change the system's processors
and memory. Follow these steps in reverse order when installing the boards back
into the system.
Begin by completely shutting down power to the system, including unplugging the
AC power cables. Then remove the chassis' top cover, which is secured to the
chassis with a single screw at the rear.
Removing a Bridge Module from the Chassis
Loosen the screws on the bridge board bracket. 1.
Use even pressure to pull the bridge module out of the CPU modules. 2.
Removing a CPU Module from the Chassis
Locate the red latches on the handles of the CPU module and place both 1.
hands on the handles.
Using your thumbs, press both red latches outwards (towards the ends of the 2.
board) to release the handles from their locked position.
Pull both handles of the CPU board upwards and gently lift the CPU module 3.
out of the chassis. Do not grasp the middle of the CPU module to pull it out.
