Preparing for an Installation
Most internal installation procedures involve either the memory or system board.
Installing components onto these boards may require the following common
preparatory tasks:
•
Powering down the server
•
Locating and removing the Torx T-15 tool
•
Removing the access panel
•
Opening the hot-plug door
Powering Down the Server
To power down the server:
1.
Shut down the operating system as directed in the operating system instructions.
2.
For tower-model servers only, open the front bezel door. See “Opening the Front
Bezel Door” in this chapter.
3.
If the server is on, set the Power On/Standby button to standby.
4.
Be sure that the following events occur:
— The Power On/Standby button LED turns amber, indicating that the system is
in standby mode.
— All fans stop spinning.
5.
Disconnect all AC power cords.
WARNING: The system power in the server does not completely shut off
from the front panel Power On/Standby button. Moving the button from on
to standby leaves some portions of the hot-plug power supply and some
internal circuitry active. To shut off all power to the system, move the
button to standby and disconnect all AC power cords from the server.
