13 Server Components: Removing/Reinstalling

This chapter tells how to remove and reinstall major server components. Because the CPU
baseboard is mounted horizontally toward the front of the chassis and the PHP I/O baseboard is
mounted horizontally towards the rear of the chassis, the procedures start with the covers and end
up with the baseboards.
Warnings and Cautions
Only a qualified service technician is authorized to remove the server covers and to access any of
the components inside the server. Before removing the covers, see “Safety Guidelines” on
page 115.
Tools and Supplies You Need
• Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)
• Small flat-bladed screwdriver
• Antistatic wrist strap (recommended)
• Pen or pencil
Equipment Log
Use the equipment log form provided in Appendix B, “Equipment Log,” to record the model and
serial numbers of the server, all installed options, and any other pertinent information about the
server. You will need this information when running the SSU.
