To install or replace a storage drive, fan, or power supply, skip the next section and proceed directly to page 2-9, page 2-12, or page 2-14, respectively. Replacement of motherboard components, however, requires removal of the protective cover. 2.1.1 Remove Protective Top Cover To access a motherboard component, open the RES-22XR3 as follows: Themis Computer...
1. Loosen the two captive Phillips screws holding the protective top access cover to the rear of the RES-22XR3 chassis (see A, Figure 2-1). 2. Both the front and sides of the cover have flat hooks or tabs underneath that fit under slots on the chassis top edges (see B, Figure 2-1).
2—Installation and Operation Installation Procedures 2.1.2 Memory Modules The RES-22XR3 supports memory according to Table 2-1. Note the total memory capacity varies according to the motherboard installed in the RES-22XR3. Table 2-1. RES-22XR3 Memory Capacity Memory Parameters DDR3 Motherboard Number...
The following procedure explains how to install the DDR3 FBD Memory Modules. 1.

2—Installation and Operation Installation Procedures 2.1.3 PCI Cards RES-22XR3 Configuration 1 supports seven PCI-Express 2.0 x8 slots (all in x16 slots). All slots support cards up to 12.28-inches long (see Figure 2-5). Slot Slots 1 through 7 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 (all in x16 slots) Figure 2-5.
7. Attach any internal I/O cables to the installed PCI cards, and carefully fold and tuck any exposed ribbon cables into the cabinet. 8. If you have no further installations to perform, close the RES-22XR3 chassis by refastening the top cover removed in Section 2.1.1, “Remove Protective Top Cover,”...
2.1.5.1 Opening the RES-22XR3 Front Doors The knurled captive screw on the front of the RES-22XR3 allows the doors to lock without a key. To unlock the doors, turn the screw counterclockwise and pull both doors away from the chassis.
After opening the front doors, perform the following steps to remove and install a storage drive: Note: Since RES-22XR3 storage drives are “hot-swappable”, it is not necessary to electrically turn off system power in order to remove and replace a drive (ex- cept the operating system drive).
The handle will swing closed when it comes into contact with the RES-22XR3 chassis. 4. When the drive is fully inserted in its slot, insert the key into the barrel lock and turn it 45 degrees counter-clockwise.
See Figure 2-11 on page 2-12 for fan layout and descriptions. Note: Since RES-22XR3 fans are “hot-swappable”, it is not necessary to turn off system power in order to remove and replace a fan.
With the right hand index finger, press on the right hand side of the fan and pull the fan directly upward from the RES-22XR3 chassis. 3. When the fan is removed, its 4-wire connector will be disconnected from the chassis.

To learn how to install rack-mount slides, refer to Appendix B, “Rack-Mount Slide Installation”. Caution: Any screws used to mount a slide to a RES-22XR3 chassis must not ex- ceed a length of 3/8” to prevent excessive penetration of the chassis.
Before powering on the RES-22XR3, plug in the AC power cords as follows: 1. On the rear of the RES-22XR3, plug an AC power cord (shipped with unit) into the AC power socket on each power supply (see Figure 2-16).
1. To turn the RES-22XR3 power off, press the system power on/off button (see Figure 2-17, page 2-18). This will shut down the system and turn off the POWER LED, as well as the LED on the power supply modules.

Re-packaging Instructions Re-packaging for Shipment If it becomes necessary to return equipment to Themis Computer, it is very important that the equip- ment be shipped in the original packaging which provides adequate protection against crushing and moisture invasion. Failure to use original packaging materials, exactly as described in this appendix may invalidate the warranty.
RES-22XR3 Installation Manual - Configuration 1 Version 1.3 Packaging Components The original packaging components are shown in Figure F-1. They comprise a packaging box, bottom crush-resistant layer, and top crush-resistant layer. The bottom and top crush-resistant layers are identi- cal components, each layer formed of two pieces of material fitted together as shown in Figure F-1.
• Seal the top of the box with strong packaging tape, wrapping the tape completely around the box, both lengthwise, and crosswise. • Prepare for shipment in accordance with the instructions received from Themis Computer. Figure F-2. Order of Assembly...
