Accessing The System; Before You Begin; Opening The Base Unit - Intergraph InterServe 8000 System Reference Manual

1 Accessing the System

This chapter describes how to access the internal components of the system so you can service and
upgrade an InterServe 8000 server.

Before You Begin

WARNING Heed all warnings and cautions in the accessing, se rvicing and upgrading instructions.
Personal injury and damage to equipment can occur if documented procedures are not
followed.
CAUTION The system produces high-leakage current. Flip the circuit breaker (if included) to the OFF position
when servicing or upgrading the base unit.
CAUTION Use an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD can damage components inside the system.

Opening the Base Unit

The system contains safety interlock switches that turn the system power off when you remove a side
panel (in systems with 550 Watt power supplies) or the power supply cover (in systems with 539 Watt
power supply). You do not have to manually power off the system before servicing, but you must log
off and shut down the operating system to preserve data on the disk drives.
The side panels are secured using twist locks on the back of the unit, so you need no tools to remove
them. The following table shows which panel to remove to access the internal components. The right
side and left side are as viewed from the front of the system.

NOTE The power supplies and disk drives can be removed without taking off the side panels.
CAUTION Use caution to avoid injury when removing side panels and other hardware.
WARNING For units installed in a standalone rack, ensure the rack's front and side stabilizers are
extended at all times. If the rack includes adjustable feet on the stabilizers, they must be in full
contact with the floor. If the rack includes locking casters, they should be locked.
