About this task

Attention
  • Read the following sections to ensure that you work safely.
  • Turn off the corresponding DWC tray that you are going to perform the task on.
    Note
    If Shared I/O adapters are installed, power off the auxiliary node (node 1/3/5/7/9/11) first, and then power off the primary node (node 2/4/6/8/10/12).
  • Disconnect all external cables from the enclosure.
    Note
    Use extra forces to disconnect QSFP cables if they are connected to the solution.
  • To avoid damaging the water loop, always use the water loop carrier when removing, installing or folding the water loop.

Prepare the following screwdrivers to ensure you can install and remove corresponding screws properly.

Procedure

  1. Make preparations for this task.
    1. Remove the tray (see Remove a DWC tray from the enclosure).
      Attention

      For safety, use the lift tool to remove the tray from the rack.

    2. Remove the tray cover (see Remove the tray cover).
    3. Remove the front and the rear cross braces (14x Phillips #1 screws).

    4. Remove all DIMM combs (see Remove a DIMM comb).
    5. Remove DIMMs from both nodes (see Remove a memory module).
    6. Remove M.2 Backplanes from the node (see Remove the M.2 backplane).
    7. Remove drive cage assemblies from the node if applicable (see Remove a drive cage assembly).
    8. Remove PCIe riser assemblies from the node if applicable (see Remove a PCIe adapter).
  2. Remove all Torx T10 screw (4x Torx T10 screw for two nodes); then, slide two VR clamp plates out of the nodes.

  3. Remove water loop screws (26x Torx T10 screws for two nodes) with a torque screwdriver sets to the proper torque.
    Note
    For reference, the torque required for the screws to be fully tightened/removed is 0.5-0.6 newton-meters, 4.5-5.5 inch-pounds.

  7. Loosen processors properly.
    1. ❶ Fully loosen all Torx T30 captive screws (16x Torx T30 captive screws for two nodes) on cold plates with a general screwdriver until they stop, following the removal sequence shown on the cold plate label.
      Note
      For reference, the torque required for the screws to be fully tightened/removed is 1.1-1.15 newton-meters, 9.8-10.2 inch-pounds.
      Attention
      To prevent damage to components, make sure that you follow the indicated loosening sequence.
    2. ❷ Rotate all anti-tilt wire bails (16x anti-tilt wire bails for two nodes) inwards to the unlocked position.
      Note
      The following illustration shows screw locations for one node. The screw locations are identical for two nodes.
