Installing or Replacing Server Components

3

Press to open the handle of the replacement drive module and slide the module into
the empty bay until it is firmly seated.

4

Press the handle so that it is flush with the front panel.

5

The disk status light turns green to indicate normal operation.

Important:

Be sure to save the blank drive module if you removed one. A blank

module should always be placed in an empty drive bay to maintain proper airflow
through the server.

Opening and Closing the Server

1

Shut down the server.

Be sure to wait a brief period to allow the server’s internal components to cool.

2

If the cable-management arm is not in use for all cables, unplug all cables from the
back panel except the power cord. If a FireWire cable is connected to the front panel,
disconnect it too.

Insert the drive module into the open bay
and push on the handle until the module is
firmly seated and the handle latches into position.

Warning:

Always shut down your server before opening it to avoid damaging its

internal components or the components you want to install. Do not open the
server or attempt to install items inside it while it is turned on. After shutting
down your server, the internal components can be very hot. Let the computer
cool down before continuing.
