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 requires that power first be removed from
the system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.
2.1 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 from the
power source.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the chassis.
2.2 Hardware Security
The chassis features multiple locking devices to help deter hardware theft and protect user
data. While no lock is infallible, it is recommended that users keep their systems locked when
not in use.
Front Bezel Lock
The locking front bezel protects against unauthorized removal of the hard drives. Use the key
to lock or unlock the bezel. Always remove the key from the lock and store it in a secure place.
