Chapter 4 System Hardware Installation Pre-installation Instructions Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or injury to yourself.
Removing Chassis Cover Before you remove or install the system cover • Make sure the system is not turned on or connected to AC power. Follow these instructions to remove the chassis covers: 1. Push down on the indentations located on the side of the chassis cover. 2.
Removing and Installing the Fan Duct Follow these instructions to remove/install the fan duct: 1. Lift up to remove the fan duct. 2. To install the fan duct, tear off the double-sided adhesive tape and stick it on the edge of the fan. - 23 -...
Installing the CPU and Heatsink Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU: • Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. • Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.
Installing the Memory Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory: • Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. • Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
Page 26
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in 4 Channel mode. 4 Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed. When enabling 4 Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
Installing the PCI Expansion Card • Voltages can be present within the server whenever an AC power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position. Ensure that the system is powered- down and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to installing a PCI card.
