Removing the cover
Working with adapters in the xSeries 330
The following information describes how to remove the cover.
Complete the following steps to remove the cover from the server/workstation:
1.
Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 46.
2.
Turn off the server/workstation and all attached devices and disconnect all
external cables and power cords.
3.
Remove the server/workstation from the rack (see "Rack installation" on page
47).
4.
Remove the two screws from the rear of the server/workstation.
5.
Pull out on the cover release lever at the back of the server/workstation, to release
the cover.
6.
Slide the cover back, then up and off the server/workstation.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on
the server/workstation. Operating the server/workstation for extended periods
of time (over 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage
server/workstation components.
7.
Remove the clear shield that covers the inside of the server/workstation.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the shield when you are installing memory
modules or installing an adapter in the PCI slots.
The server/workstation comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
adapter slots on the system board with riser cards installed in them.
Attention: Your server/workstation also comes with an integrated video controller
on the system board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the
server/workstation BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. This
allows the video adapter in the PCI slot to control the video functions for your
monitor.
The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expansion slots on
the system board.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
