Installing a Server Module

NOTICE: Follow this procedure carefully—it is possible to insert the server module upside-down, which may damage the chassis midplane and the server module.

1Orient the server module so that its top side is up. The server module is correctly oriented for installation when its components have the characteristics described below:

aThe server module’s upper handle is above (outside) the lower handle.

The upper handle has the DELL logo™ on it, extends farther out than the lower handle, and has a release latch on its inside. See Figure 3-12.

bThe upper edge of the server module has "TOP-SIDE" engraved in it. See Figure 3-12.
