Hardware Upgrade and
Replacement Procedures
R Series Data Center Products User's Guide, Rev. B
ClearCube's architecture greatly simplifies complete computer upgrades as well as
upgrades to individual components. A complete PC blade is easily upgraded by
lowering the chassis front bezel, slowly pulling out the old PC blade, and then
replacing with a new PC blade.
CAUTION: Some surfaces on the blade may be hot, especially when the
blade has been powered on. Remove and handle the blade with care.
Individual components, including memory and hard drive, chassis, and fan packs can
also be upgraded or replaced by qualified technicians. These components are
accessible by removing the PC blade from the chassis. To maintain your ClearCube
warranty and ensure proper operation, only use ClearCube approved commodities
when performing upgrades.
CAUTION: All upgrades should be performed by a qualified computer
technician. Take proper precautions to avoid damaging electrostatic
discharges by working at a grounded computer equipment repair bench.
Damage caused by improper upgrade procedures will void your warranty.
CAUTION: Disconnect all sources of power before servicing the R4300
chassis.
