7. Remove the cables attached to the system module.
8. Loosen the captive screws that hold the sliding handles on the system module to the
workstation.
Look for two compression connectors when you remove the system module from
the chassis, and do not touch them. They are located at the back of the system
module and connect to the chassis when the system module is installed in the
workstation.
Caution: The gold bristled pad on the compression connectors (on the back of the
system module) is very delicate and easily damaged. Before you remove the system
module, refer to Appendix B in your Octane Workstation Owner's Guide.
9. Pull both sliding handles simultaneously until they are completely extended.
This action releases the system module from the workstation.
10. Pull the system module from the chassis by grasping the module handle with your
left hand and bracing your right hand against the top of the workstation.
Support the bottom of the module as you pull it out.
11. Place the system module on a dry, antistatic surface with the CPU and DIMMs
facing up. Your desktop works well.
Caution: Do not touch the compression connectors as you remove the system
module. The side of the compression connector that connects to the workstation is
extremely delicate.
12. Attach the wrist strap (included in the upgrade package) to your wrist, and to a
metal part of the chassis before touching any of the components.
13. Locate the DIMM banks and sockets, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
Caution: Do not touch the connector near the DIMM removal levers.
14. Place a cap on each compression connector on the back of the system module
(compression connector caps come with the workstation).
The heat sinks on the CPU and system module get very hot.
Warning:
Wait 5 minutes before touching them, and then test.
