When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins
are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
You might also remove other components. For the removed components to be reinstalled correctly,
record their positions and connections before removal, for example, taking pictures of cable
connection and drive installation positions, or labeling cables.
Removing a front mezzanine storage controller and a power fail safeguard module
1.
Remove the access panel. Press the unlock button on the access panel, slide the panel to the
server rear, and then lift the access panel.
2.
Remove the supercapacitor, if any:
a.
Disconnect the supercapacitor cable from the front mezzanine storage controller.
b.
Open the clip on the air baffle, and pull the supercapacitor out of the slot.
3.
Remove the front mezzanine storage controller. Remove the screws that secure the controller,
and lift the controller out of the chassis.
Installing a front mezzanine storage controller and a power fail safeguard module
1.
Install the front mezzanine storage controller. Align the three screw holes in the storage
controller with the three threaded studs on the system board, insert the storage controller, and
use screws to secure the controller.
2.
Install a supercapacitor to the air baffle, if any, and connect the supercapacitor cable to the front
mezzanine storage controller.
Installation procedures are similar for supercapacitors of different models, and this section
installs SCAP-LSI-G3 supercapacitor as an example.
NOTE:
A supercapacitor holder, an uncoded extension cable, and a 0404A0X1 extension cable are
shipped with the SCAP-LSI-G3 supercapacitor, and only the 0404A0X1 extension cable is
used.
a.
Install the supercapacitor onto the air baffle. Tilt the supercapacitor and insert one end of
the supercapacitor into the supercapacitor slot, and press the other end into the slot.
b.
Use the 0404A0X1 extension cable to connect the supercapacitor to the storage controller.
3.
Install the access panel. Align the standouts on the access panel with the notches in the chassis
side panels, place the panel onto the chassis, and slide the panel to the server front until the
panel is securely locked.
4.
Install the blade server. For more information, see "
