Remove the RAID 930-8i supercap retention bracket

Use this information to remove the RAID 930-8i supercap retention bracket from the I/O expansion cage.

Before removing the a RAID 930-8i supercap from the I/O expansion cage:

  1. Power off the server. See Power off the server.

  2. Disconnect power cords from both power supplies, which are located in the rear of the server.

  3. Record the location of the cables in the front of the PCIe adapters that are installed in the I/O expansion cage at the front of the server, and disconnect the cables.

  4. Disconnect the management port cable from the management port in the I/O expansion cage, if necessary.

  5. Loosen the two captive screws located on the front of the server. If necessary, use a P2 screwdriver to loosen the screws.

  6. Pull the server forward until the slide rails click into place.

  7. Remove the top cover. See Remove the top cover.

  8. Remove the air baffle. See Remove the air baffle.

  9. Remove the system fan cage. See Remove the system fan cage.

  10. Remove the I/O expansion cage. See Remove the I/O expansion cage.

To remove the RAID 930-8i supercap, complete the following steps:

  1. Remove all PCIe adapters from the I/O expansion cage, including the RAID 930-8i adapter.
    Figure 1. Removing the RAID 930-8i adapter from the I/O expansion cage

    1. Rotate the I/O expansion cage so that the screw on the PCIe adapter is facing up, and remove the screw.
    2. Disconnect the RAID adapter power cable from the supercap connector (3).
    3. Grasp the PCIe adapter by its edges and carefully pull it out of the PCIe slot.
      Note
      The PCIe adapter might fit tightly into the PCIe slot. If necessary, alternatively move each side of the PCIe adapter a small and equal amount until it is removed from the slot.
  2. Remove the supercap retention bracket.

    1. Remove three screws (2) that connect the retention bracket to the I/O expansion cage card.
    2. Remove the supercap retention bracket from the I/O expansion cage card (1).
After removing the supercap retention bracket:

  1. Install all PCIe adapters in the I/O cage.

  2. Connect the cables back to all PCIe adapters.

  3. Install the I/O expansion cage. See Install the I/O expansion cage.

  4. Install the fan cage. See Install the system fan cage.

  5. Install the air baffle. See Install the air baffle.

  6. Install the top cover. See Install the top cover.

  7. Push up on the latches on the slide rails and push the server back into the rack.

  8. Tighten the two captive screws located on the front of the server to secure the server in the rack.

    Note
    Always secure the system in the rack if your are moving the rack.

  9. Connect all cables to the ports on the front of the server, including the management port, if necessary, and all PCIe adapter ports. The management port and PCIe adapter ports are located in the I/O expansion cage.

  10. Connect power cords to both power supplies, which are located at the rear of the server.
