Chapter 3 Hardware Installation and Maintenance This chapter helps you assemble the chassis and install components. Before You Begin Before you work with the server, pay close attention to the “Important Safety Instructions” at the beginning of this manual. 1. Make sure the server is powered off. Power down the server if it is still running.
1U2N2G Series 3.1 Server Top Cover Removing the Server Top Cover 1. Before removing the top cover, power off the server and unplug the power cord. 2. The system must be operated with the chassis top cover installed to ensure proper cooling.
Page 22
Installing the Server Top Cover 1. Lower the top cover on the chassis, making sure the side latches align with the cutouts. Slide the top cover toward the front side 2. Secure the top cover with the screws.
1U2N2G Series 3.2 Power Supply The system can accommodate four AC or two DC power supplies in the bay at the rear of the chassis. One power supply is required for full load operation, with the other power supply purely as a redundant, load-sharing backup. It can be removed without affecting system operation.
Page 24
Installing the Power Supply Unit To install a new power supply, please follow the steps below. 1. Carefully slide the PSU all the way into the power supply bay. 2. Make sure the power supply clicks into place and is well installed.
1U2N2G Series 3.3 System Fan The system supports dual-rotor system fans. For the 1U2N2G-B550 and 1U2N2G-ROME/2T systems, please remove the riser- card bracket before replacing any system fans. Please refer to the section entitled "3.5 Add-on Card " for the instructions on how (1U2N2G-B550 / 1U2N2G-ROME/2T only) to remove the riser-card bracket from the chassis.
Page 26
Replacing the System Fan 1. Lift to remove the failed fan. 2. Align the mounting holes on the replacement fan corners with the fan mounts on the fan bracket. 3. Gently place the fan onto the mounts. 4. Make sure the fan is well seated.
1U2N2G Series 3.4 Add-on Card (1U2N2G-B550/N only) 1. You can install an add-on card to the chassis only when you have a riser card installed on the server board. 2. Before installing the add-on card, power off the server and unplug the power cord.

Carr ier Frame with CPU Rail Frame Please make sure that the carrier frame with CPU is closely attached to the rail frame while inserting it. Install the carrier frame with CPU. Don’t separate them.
Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. For more information about DIMM installation, please refer to the User Manual that comes with the serverboard you use.
