4. At the rear of the power distribution board (where the second power
supply is inserted), there is a vertical shield that protects the second power
supply slot. Remove this shield by grasping and forcibly pulling it off the
cover that protects the power distribution board.
5. Remove the COM port header from the backpanel while keeping it con-
nected to the serverboard.
6. Remove the three screws (two on the bottom and one on the side) that
secure the right backpanel section to the chassis, then remove the
backpanel section (Figure 6-6, step 1). Locate the alternate backpanel
section (included in the accessory box) and attach it to the backpanel with
the same screws you just removed (Figure 6-6, step 2).
7. Reattach the COM port header to the space provided in the new
backpanel section.
8. Reinstall the riser card bracket.
9. Insert a new power supply module, pushing it all the way into the empty
bay until it clicks into place.
10. Replace the chassis cover, push the system back into the rack and
reconnect the power cords (to both power modules now). Power up the
system.
Reconfiguring the 6014P-8R/6014P-82R (see Figure 6-7)
Reconfiguring the 6014P-8R/6014P-82R as a single power supply system is
not recommended by Supermicro. However, if you do wish to reconfigure
the system in this way, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1. You will first need to power down the system and remove the power
cords from both power modules, as well as the left-side (when viewed
from the rear of the system) power supply. To gain access to the inside of
the system, pull the server out from the rack and remove the top chassis
cover by following the instructions on page 2-8.
2. Once the cover is removed and you have full access to the inside of the
system, begin by removing the three screws that secure the riser card
bracket, which runs from the primary ATX power connector to the rear of
the chassis. After the screws are removed, lift the riser card bracket out
from the chassis.
