Chapter 2
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.
2.1 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 power cord from the outlet.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the chassis.
2.2 Accessing the System
The E50-9AP features a removable bottom cover to access the inside of the chassis.
Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Power down the system as described in Section 2.1.
2. Remove the screws that hold the cover in place.
3. Lift the cover up and off the chassis.
Caution:
Except for short periods of time, do
not
operate the server without the cover in
place. The chassis cover is required to maintain proper cooling airflow.
