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
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.
1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cords from the
power strip or outlet. (If your system has more than one power supply, remove the AC
power cords from all power supply modules.)
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply modules.
3.2 Accessing the System
The SC813MFTQC-350B/R407CB features a removable top cover, which allows easy access
to the inside of the chassis.
Removing the Top Cover
1. Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will
hear a "click").
3. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the
same time, push the cover away from you until it stops.
4. Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
Warning
: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in place.
The chassis cover must be in place to allow for proper airflow and to prevent overheating.
3.3 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
Warning:
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the CPU or CPU socket. Also, improper CPU installation or socket misalignment can
cause serious damage to the CPU or motherboard which may result in RMA repairs. Please
read and follow all instructions thoroughly before installing your CPU and heatsink.
Notes:
•
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing, or
changing any hardware components. Please note that the processor and heatsink should
be assembled together first to form the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM), and then install
the entire PHM into the CPU socket.
•
When you receive a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the
plastic CPU socket cap is in place and that none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise,
contact your retailer immediately.
•
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
•
Please follow the instructions given in the ESD Warning section on the first page of this
chapter before handling, installing, or removing system components.
Note:
All graphics, drawings, and pictures shown in this manual are for illustration only. The
components that came with your machine may or may not look exactly the same as those
shown in this manual.
