SUPERSERVER 6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 User's Manual
3.Remove the COM port header from the backpanel while keeping it con- nected to the serverboard.
4.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 2). Locate the alternate backpanel section and attach it to the backpanel with the same screws you just re- moved (Figure 6-6, step 1).
5.Pull the left-side (when viewed from the rear of the system) power supply out of the chassis. Note that the power distribution board contacts for this power supply are now exposed. Supermicro does not supply a shield to protect these contacts, you must do so on your own.
6.Reinstall the riser card bracket.
7.You may now add a left-side riser card (purchased separately*) and a PCI-X/PCI-Express expansion card in the space vacated by the second power supply module, if desired.
8.Reattach the COM port header to the space provided in the new backpanel section.
9.Replace the chassis cover, push the system back into the rack and reconnect the power cord (to only a single power module now). Power up the system.
* CSE-RR1U-X (for PCI-X cards) or CSE-RR1U-EL (for PCI-Express cards).

Important: Reconfiguring the 6014P-8R/6014P-82R as a single power supply system is not recommended. If you do reconfigure the 6014P-8R/6014P-82R, it is extremely important that you install a shield (not included) to protect the power distribution board con- tacts that were used by the second power supply module (see step 5 above).
