Maintenance and Component Installation
This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To
prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part
numbers given.
Installation or replacement of most components requires that power first be removed from
the system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.

2.1 Removing Power

Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This
step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components or when replacing
a non-redundant power supply.
1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord from the
power source.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the chassis.

2.2 Accessing the System

The DS3A-261B features a removable top cover to access to the inside of the chassis.
Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of the power supply
as described in Section 2.1.
2. Slide the release tab downward.
3. Grasp the cover and lift it off the chassis.
Caution: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the system without the cover in
place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.
