6: Basic Troubleshooting and Chassis Service

Unpacking

•

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity

between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Replacement components are usually shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.

When unpacking an upgrade or replacement component, make sure the person handling it is static

protected.

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1 connector on

the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. A ribbon cable has bundled these

wires together to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the

Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both

connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path. The LEDs inform you of system status.

See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found

in Chapter 5.

This section describes hard drive installation and removal.

Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or swap a

RAIDed hard disk drive. Data may be lost or corrupted if you "hot swap" a JBOD disk drive. Shut

down system power before removing or replacing a JBOD disk. Removing either a RAID or

JBOD drive without replacing it may cause system errors. Proceed to the next section for further

hard drive instructions.

Note: You must use approved 2.5" disk drives in the system.
