Locating and Removing the Torx T-15 Tool

Many hardware procedures in the NAS e7000 v2 are toolless, but a few require the removal of
Torx T-15 screws that have been installed for shipping or security reasons. A Torx T-15 tool
ships with the server for the removal of these screws.
To locate and remove the Torx T-15 tool:
1. Locate the Torx T-15 tool on the back of the server. It is next to PCI-X slot 6.
2. Slide the tool out of the retaining clips.
NAS e7000 v2 Maintenance and Service Guide
Caution: Do not operate the server for extended periods without the access panel.
Operating the server without the access panel results in improper airflow and improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Caution: Reinstall each hard drive into the specific slot from which it was removed. Mixing
the hard drives adversely affects the system drive configuration.
Extend the server from the rack.
If you are performing service procedures in a Compaq branded rack or third-party rack
cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain
access to internal components.
Access internal components.
If you need to access internal components for removal or replacement, you can remove the
front and rear access panels without removing the server from the rack.
Power down the server.
If you must perform a non-hot-plug replacement procedure, power down the server.
Remove the server from the rack.
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack creates
awkward conditions, remove the server from the rack. If the server is installed in a telco
rack, you must remove the server from the rack to access internal components.
WARNING: Before lifting the server, remove all hot-plug power supplies and hard drives to
reduce the weight.
