Chapter 3
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 require that power first be removed from the
system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.
3.1 Removing Power
Before performing any setup or maintenance on the chassis, use the following procedure to
ensure that power has been removed disconnected from the system.
Removing the Power Cord
1. Use the operating system to power down the system, following the on-screen prompts.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the power cord
and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply.
3. If your system has dual redundant power supplies, remove the cords from both power
supplies.
4. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.
3.2 Chassis Components
The chassis includes power supplies, rear I/O ports, expansion card slots and eight nodes.
Each node is a separate system containing a drawer with a serverboard, fans, and other
components. Each node may be removed from the chassis separately.
Installing and Removing the Node Drawers
The F414IS4 chassis contains four individual motherboards in separate node drawers (Figure
3-1). Each motherboard node controls a set of twelve internal fixed hard drives. Note that if
a motherboard node drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that
node will power down as well.
