Before You Begin WARNING Disconnect the system and peripheral devices from AC power before servicing internal components! Failure to remove AC power may result in equipment damage or personal injury. WARNING There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. WARNING Follow all warnings and cautions in the servicing instructions.
Base Unit Components The following figure shows the base unit components: Top Cover Face Plate Mounting Screws Disk Drive Peripheral Face Section Door Cage Panel To replace the disk drive bay door, you must first remove the top cover and open the face panel. To replace the face panel, you must remove the top cover and the disk drive section door.
Replace the two hinge screws, ensuring that the hinge screws are equally tightened. This will ensure that the door is centered properly. To replace the face panel: Remove the disk drive section door from the old face panel. See the previous procedure. Install the disk drive section door in the new face panel.
From inside the chassis, push the back of the CD-ROM or peripheral cage until the bezel clears the front of the chassis, then slide the cage out. Remove the mounting screws attaching the CR-ROM from the left and right sides of the peripheral cage.
Disk Drives in the Disk Drive Section The disk drive bay may contain up to four JBOD (for “just a bunch of disks”) or RAID disk drives, depending on the configuration of your system. The replacement procedure for these drives is similar.
If the system has a RAID configuration, verify that the drive status LED lights. Its behavior is dependent on the status of the array that the drive is in. Label the new drive with the same ADP, CH, and ID numbers used on the replaced drive, as appropriate.

Power Connectors SCSI Cable Disconnect the power cables attached to the disk drive bay, using caution to avoid damage to the cables and components on the disk drive backplane. Do not pull on the wires of the power cables to remove them from the plugs, as damage to the cables will occur. Slide the disk drive bay the rest of the way out of the chassis.
SAF-TE Card The SCSI Activity Fault-Tolerant Enclosure (SAF-TE) card is an option used only on systems with RAID configurations. If your system has a RAID configuration with a SAF-TE card, use the following procedure to replace the SAF-TE card. To move or replace the SAF-TE card: Remove the disk drive bay as described previously in “Disk Drive Bay.”...
Connector Connects to System board Reserved CD-ROM drive Floppy drive Reserved SCSI backplane (on disk drive bay) Reserved; use for peripheral drive bay device Reserved SCSI backplane (on disk drive bay) Disconnect all power cables from all internal devices and the system board. Remove and retain the six screws securing the power supply and mounting plate to the back and top of the system.
To replace a processor module: Remove the heat-sink lock from within the heat-sink fins, if necessary, by pressing the ends of the lock inward and pulling lock outward. Press the locking tabs on the top corners of the processor module inward, towards each other, until they click into the release position.
CAUTION System memory modules from Intergraph Computer Systems are certified for use with Intergraph computers at extremes of temperatures and system load to ensure reliable performance. System memory modules available from other vendors may not function properly or reliably in your Intergraph computer.
Orient the DIMM so that the notches match the keys in the socket. DIMM Notch DIMM socket Release Tab Push gently straight down until the release tabs snap into place. When you restart the computer, the BIOS detects the new memory automatically. System Board You must swap the DIMMs and processor module(s) from the old system board to the new one if you replace the system board.
To install a new system board: Place the new system board into the chassis, align all mounting holes, and install the jackscrews on the external port connectors. Loosely install the remaining screws on the system board, except those for the processor retention module(s).
To replace the chassis fan: Disconnect the fan power cable from the power supply connector. Remove and retain the four screws attaching the fan and fan grille to the chassis. Ensure the airflow direction arrow on the new fan is pointing in the correct direction, then attach the new fan and fan grille to the chassis using the same four screws.
Lithium (CMOS/Clock) Battery The battery is located near the bottom front of the system board. See the System Board Manual for details. After you remove the battery, the system will lose its operating parameters stored in CMOS. As a result, the system BIOS parameters are lost. Parameters include date, time, hardware configuration, and other data.
Connect the key switch cables to the connectors on the system board. Install the face panel with the replaced keyswitch. To replace an LED: Open the face panel. See Chapter 1, “Accessing the Components,” for details. Note the locations of the two LEDs on the switch mounting plate. Remove the switch mounting plate by removing the two screws attaching the plate to the chassis.

Install the new device in the open bay. If you are installing a SCSI device, do both of the following (See Chapter 5, “Peripherals”, for details). (Mount the device in the open bay in the peripheral cage using the retained screws.) Set the SCSI ID on the new device to an unused ID number.
SCSI Cable Quality Guidelines To ensure data integrity and optimum performance, do the following: Use only Intergraph Computer Systems SCSI cables. Cables from other vendors may not provide adequate shielding. Use the shortest cables possible to connect SCSI devices to the system and to each other.
SCSI ID Guidelines By default, specific devices use the following SCSI IDs: System disk drive (standard) uses ID 0 SCSI controller always uses ID 7 Read/write CD-ROM (optional) drive uses ID 4 4 mm DAT drive (optional) uses ID 6 Iomega Jaz drive (optional) uses ID 6 NOTE To easily determine the ID of each SCSI device on the system, restart the system.
Ensure that the power switch on the device is in the off position, and then connect the power cord to the device and then to an AC receptacle. Turn on the power to the device and any other devices on the SCSI chain. Start the system.
