2. Hardware Setting up Before you Begin This chapter explains how to install DIMM, PCIE add-on cards, and SSD. Before removing the BMC, you must first enter the BIOS to modify the settings in order to boot without the BMC. 1.
4. Turn off AC power & remove BMC module 2.1.1 Work Area Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to keep small components separated. Putting all small components in separate containers prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components.
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on a system that is connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to VEGA-7030 or injury to yourself. ...
