Carefully place the defective SGDC on a soft, ESD-safe surface with the components facing
upward. Place the SGDC down directly and do not drag the SGDC on the surface. Failure to do
so can lead to component damage.
Place the SGDC on an ESD-safe surface with components facing upward.
5.12.2 Install a SGDC
Prerequisites
Tools Required:
Adjustable torque driver, 5–40 in-lbs
T15 Torx bit
T10 Torx bit
Dusting gas
Time Required:
15 minutes to remove and replace a populated SGDC
30 minutes to remove a SGDC, transfer the DIMMs and processors to an unpopulated
spare SGDC, and install the SGDC
About this task
If installing a spare SGDC, transfer the DIMMs and processors from the defective SGDC to the new SGDC.
Procedure
1. Position the replacement SGDC on the blade and press down firmly in the area of the connector to seat it in
the connector on the blade.
2. Hand tighten the standoffs (2) that attach the KPDC to the blade. Torque the standoffs to 14 in-lbs.
The bit holder on the torque driver is the same size as the standoff.
3. Record the location of the DIMMs and processors on the defective SGDC for reinstalling them in the same
locations on the replacement SGDC.
4. Remove the processors, DIMMs, and VRMs from the defective SGDC.
5. Install the processors, DIMMs, and VRMs on the replacement SGDC.
6. Place the processor air ducts over the SGDC processors.
7. Install the power cable assembly.
a. Position the power cable assembly on the blade.
b. Insert the two tabs on the center of the cable into the standoffs on the blade.
c. Reconnect the cable connectors.
8. Replace the air diffuser bracket and reinstall the T10 Torx screws. Torque screws to 5.5 in-lbs.
