Notes:

•Use any documentation that comes with the TR 300 Key and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this topic.

•Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustration in this topic.

To install the TR 300 Key, do the following:

1.Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.

2.If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat, clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server.

3.Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 83.

4.Locate the iButton socket on the system board. See “System board components” on page 47.

You do not need to disconnect any cables from the riser card assembly 1 or completely remove the riser card assembly 1.
