Chapter 4. Performing hardware procedures

This chapter includes the procedures for exchanging parts in the Network
Station logic unit, clearing CMOS, reading the boot block, and writing the
boot block.
There are two configuration utilities you can use to configure your Network
Station hardware for the network server. Each setup utility interacts with the
Network Station hardware to report configuration errors and hardware
problems differently:
v See "Chapter 11. Identifying problems with hardware that is configured for
NS Boot" on page 69 to determine whether or not it is necessary to replace
the Network Station logic unit, or any other parts, when working with the
NS Boot utility.
v See "Chapter 13. Identifying problems with hardware that is configured for
BIOS" on page 93 to determine whether or not it is necessary to replace the
Network Station logic unit, or any other parts, when working with the basic
input and output system (BIOS) setup utility.
For information on ordering Network Station parts, refer to "Chapter 3.
Ordering Network Station parts" on page 11.
The hardware-related procedures in this chapter have been separated into two
sections:
v "Installing and removing parts" on page 18:
– "Removing the logic unit to install parts" on page 18.
– "Installing an optional CompactFlash card" on page 19.
– "Exchanging the lithium battery" on page 20.
– "Selecting the voltage for your location" on page 21.
– "Exchanging the memory" on page 20.
– "Installing an optional PCI card" on page 19.
– "Replacing the power supply" on page 22.
v "Clearing the administrator password and CMOS, creating a recovery
CompactFlash card, and reading a CompactFlash card" on page 24
– "Clearing CMOS" on page 24.
– "Creating a recovery CompactFlash card" on page 25.
– "Reading a compact flash card" on page 26.
