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 or when replacing
a non-redundant power supply.
1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord(s) 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 module(s).
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. Disconnect the chassis from any power source if necessary (see above).
2. Remove the screws securing the cover to the chassis.
3. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
4. Lift the cover from the chassis.
3.3 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink to the
motherboard.
Notes:
•
The motherboard should be installed into the chassis first and the processor should be
installed into the CPU socket before you install a CPU heatsink.
•
If you bought a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional
heatsink only.
•
When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your
retailer immediately.
•
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
Installing the Processor(s)
Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
1. Remove the cover plate that protects the CPU#1 socket: press the load lever to release
the load plate, which covers the CPU socket, from its locked position.
