Replacement Instructions
Follow the instructions in this sheet carefully. Failure to follow these instructions could
damage your equipment and void its warranty.
Note: Online instructions covering customer-installable parts are available at
http://www.info.apple.com/installparts/.
Tools Required
No tools are required for this procedure. You may, however, find a Phillips screwdriver
useful in releasing the thumbscrews at the front of the server.
Opening the Server
The server slides open from the front of the rack. The top cover remains in place in the
rack while the bottom housing (containing all internal components) should be placed on a
sturdy, flat surface.
Note: Two people are required to slide the server open: one to depress the chassis levers
and one to pull the bottom housing out of the rack.
1. Alert users that the server will be unavailable for a period of time.
2. Shut down the server.
Warning: To avoid damaging internal components or causing injury, always
shut down the server before opening it. After you shut down the server, internal
components can be very hot. Let the server cool down before continuing.
3. Write down the server’s serial number, which is located on the back panel. If it is
necessary to set up the server’s software after you replace the power supply, you will
be asked for the serial number at login.
