Procedure

  1. Make preparations for this task.
    1. Make sure that the power input board module is already installed in place (see Install a power input board (PIB) module).
  2. Connect the cables between the power module board and power input board (see Cable routing for the power module board and power input board module).
    Attention

    For a smooth installation, connect the cables between the power module board and power input board module BEFORE installing the power module board.

  3. Install the power module board and the cable wall.
    1. Align the power module board with the guide pins; then, place the power module board into place and tighten the two screws by the sidewall of the node.
    2. Place the cable wall into its position on the power module board; then, tighten the two screws.
      Important
      • Make sure to place the pull tape of the power module board beneath the cable wall away from the DIMM slots. Otherwise, it may interfere with the memory modules and cause system failure.
      • Make sure that the busbars are seated in the holes of the power module board as shown in the illustration.
