About this task

Attention

  • Read Installation Guidelines and Safety inspection checklist to ensure that you work safely.

  • Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See Power off the server.

  • Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

Procedure

  1. Prepare your server.
    1. Remove the top cover. See Remove the top cover.
    2. If your server comes with riser assemblies, remove them first, see Remove a rear riser assembly.
    3. If your server comes with a rear drive assembly, remove it first. See Rear drive backplane and drive cage replacement.
    4. If your server comes with a 7mm rear drive assembly, remove it first. See Remove the 7mm drive cage.

      Attention
      Disengage all latches, cable clips, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors beforehand. Failing to release them before removing the cables will damage the cable connectors on the system board assembly. Any damage to the cable connectors may require replacing the system board assembly.
