In the unlikely event of a power adapter board failure, replacement is simple and
requires only a Phillips head screwdriver.
Changing the Power Adapter Board
1. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of the
power supply as described in Section 5-2. Remove the node from the chas-
sis as described in Section 5-3 and place the node on a flat, stable surface.
Remove the cover from the node as described in Section 5-5.
2. Disconnect the wiring to the power adapter board.
3. Remove the screws securing the power adapter board to the floor of the node
and carefully lift the power adapter board up and out of the node. Set the
screws aside for later use.
4. Place the replacement power adapter board into the same place on the floor
of the motherboard node, aligning the mounting holse of the board with those
in the node.
5. Secure the board with the screws previously set aside. Do not exceed eight
pound of torque when tightening the power adapter board.
6. Reconnect the wiring to the power adapter board.
