About this task

S002
disconnect all power
CAUTION
The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.
Attention
  • Read Installation Guidelines and Safety inspection checklist to ensure that you work safely.

  • Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task. 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.

  • All fan modules must be removed from the fan cage when handling the fan cage assembly.

Note

Depending on the specific configuration, the component might look different from the illustrations in this section.

Procedure

  1. Make preparations for this task.
    1. If necessary, install the FL PCIe adapter holder(s) or A2/L4 GPU air duct(s) to the fan cage depending on the specific configuration (see Install a FL PCIe adapter holder and Install an A2/L4 GPU air duct).
      Note
      This step is optional.Do this step if the removal or installation of the A2/L4 GPU air duct(s) or FL PCIe adapter holder(s) cannot be proceeded smoothly within the chassis.
  2. Install the fan cage.
    1. Align the fan cage assembly with the slots on both sides of the server, and lower it into the server.
    2. Push the fan cage release latches all the way down.
