PCI Add-in Card Cable Installation

It may be difficult to install a cable on the connector of a PCI add-in card configured at location A in Figure 24 due to interference from the power supply. If this occurs, it may be necessary to move the power supply cage out of the way, install the PCI cable on the PCI add-in card, then replace the power supply.

To connect a PCI cable to a PCI add-in card under these circumstances, follow these instructions:

1.Remove the two screws (B in Figure 24) holding the power supply cage in place.

2.Lift the back of the power supply and rotate it (C in Figure 24) so that it is placed outside of the unit. (This can be done without disconnecting the cable harness.)

3.Connect the cable to the PCI add-in card.

4.Replace the power supply cage and secure it with the two screws previously removed.

Replacing the Back Up Battery

The lithium battery on the server board powers the real time clock (RTC) for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the server settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.
