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 require that power first be removed from the
system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.
3.1 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 strip or outlet.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply module.
3.2 Accessing the System
The SC510-203B features a removable top cover, which allows easy access to the inside of
the chassis.
Removing the Top Cover
1. Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
2. Remove the five screws that hold the chassis cover in place.There are two screws on
each side of the chassis and one screw on the back.
3. Lift the cover upward to remove it from the chassis. See Figure 3-1.
Warning: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in place.
The chassis cover must be in place to allow for proper airflow and to prevent overheating.

3.3 Motherboard Components
Processor and Heatsink Installation
Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink to the
motherboard.
Notes:
•
The motherboard should be installed into the chassis first and the processor should be
installed into the CPU socket before you install a CPU heatsink.
•
If you bought a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional
heatsink only.
•
When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your
retailer immediately.
•
Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
Installing the Processor(s)
Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
1. Remove the cover plate that protects the CPU#1 socket. Lift the lever on the socket until
it points straight up. With the lever raised, lift open the processor retention plate.
