Component Replacement

This chapter describes basic component replacement for the SGI Octane III deskside workstation.
Warning:
Only personnel with extensive experience repairing server hardware should
attempt to replace or upgrade components inside an SGI Octane III deskside workstation
enclosure. Failure to maintain proper safety measures while accessing internal components
can expose you to dangerous power levels, resulting in injury or death.
Warning:
You should disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the workstation and/or from
site power before attempting to access any internal components. Ensure that the power
outlet used at your site is easily accessible so you can disconnect the power cords before you
attempt to access components inside the workstation. Failure to disconnect the power cords
from the power outlet and/or workstation enclosure before accessing internal components
can expose you to dangerous power levels, resulting in injury or death.
Warning:
Do not open the SGI Octane III deskside workstation enclosure while the AC
power cords are connected to power at your site. Attempting to access components in the
enclosure while the workstation is connected to power at you site can expose you to
dangerous power levels, resulting in injury or death.
Caution: Care must be taken to ensure that the workstation enclosure has adequate ventilation
clearance when operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can
occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
