Chapter 3 Maintaining the Server

Installing or Replacing Server Components

Color-Coded Touch Points

This server has color-coded touch points that indicate thumbscrews and latches on replaceable and hot-swappable components.

Hot-swappable components have green plastic touch points, which include the internal cooling fans and the power supplies. (Exceptions are the drive trays on the front panel, which are hot-swappable but not green).

Some replaceable but non-hot-swappable components have light-blue plastic touch points, which include PCIe risers, PCIe slots, and the fan tray.

Installing or Replacing Server Components

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Warning Class 1 laser product.

Statement 1008

Caution When handling server components, wear an ESD strap to avoid damage.
