Expansion-Card Cage

The removable expansion-card cage simplifies many installation procedures by allowing you to remove the riser board and all installed expansion cards in a
single step.

 

Removing the Expansion-Card Cage

 

NOTE:

The procedure for installing each individual fan is the same.

NOTICE:

The power supplies are hot-pluggable. The system requires one power supply to be installed for the system to operate normally. The system

is in the redundant mode when two power supplies are installed. Remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.

NOTE:

After installing a new power supply, allow several seconds for the system to recognize the power supply and determine whether it is working

properly. The power-on indicator will turn green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly. See

Figure 2
