Replacing a Front Panel Control Module or DVD Module

The Small Form Factor version of the server (PID UCSC-BSE-SFF-C200) can contain a replaceable

front panel control module or an optional DVD module in its place. This section describes how to replace

a front panel control module or a DVD module.

The qualified and supported part numbers for this component are subject to change over time. For the most

up-to-date list of replaceable components, see the following URL and then scroll to Technical Specifications:

To replace or install a front panel control module or DVD module, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove a module (see Figure 3-8):

a. Power off the server as described in the “Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server” section on

page 3-7.

b. Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies.

c. Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover and front

cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.

d. Remove the top cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section

on page 3-9.

e. Remove the front cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Front Cover (Small

Form Factor Only)” section on page 10.

f. Disconnect the two cable harnesses from the connectors on the module.

g. Remove the single retaining screw that secures the module to the chassis.

h. Slide the module toward the server front about 0.25-inches (6 mm) until the three keyed holes in the

bottom of the module free from the three pegs on the chassis.

i. Lift the module straight up and out of the chassis.

Step 2 Replace a module (see Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9):

a. Set the new module in the chassis, aligning the three keyed holes in the bottom of the module with

the three pegs on the chassis.

b. Slide the module toward the chassis rear about 0.25-inches (6 mm), until the three keyed holes lock

onto the three chassis pegs.

c. Install the single retaining screw that secures the module to the chassis.

d. Reconnect the two cable harnesses to the connectors on the module.

Note The cabling connections and routing differ for the two types of modules. If you are replacing one

type of module with another, you must replace the cables and their connection to the

motherboard. See Figure 3-9.

e. Replace the front cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Front Cover (Small

Form Factor Only)” section on page 10.
