Server Component Installations and Upgrades—NSC2U Server
3 Server Component Installations and Upgrades
3.1 Before You Begin
Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the safety instructions
provided in this manual. See Appendix A, “Safety Information” .
Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal
surface) on your server when handling parts.
3.1.1 Tools and Supplies Needed
• #1 and #2 Phillips (cross-point) screwdrivers (or interchangeable tip screwdriver
with #1 and #2 Phillips bits)
• Personal grounding device such as an anti-static wrist strap and a grounded
conductive pad
3.1.2 System References
All references to left, right, front, top, and bottom assume that you are facing the front
of the server, as it would be positioned for normal operation.
3.2 General Installation Procedures
The following sections present general installation and removal procedures that are
required before removing or installing internal components that are not hot-swappable.
3.2.1 Removing the Chassis Cover
The NSC2U Server must be operated with the top cover in place to ensure proper
cooling. You will need to remove the top cover to add or replace components inside of
the server that are not hot-swappable from the front or rear panels.
Caution: 5V standby power is present inside the chassis whenever the PSU(s) are connected to a
source of power.
Before removing the top cover, power down the server system and unplug all peripheral
devices and the power cable.
Note: A non-skid surface or a stop behind the server may be needed to prevent the server
from sliding on your work surface.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in Chapter Appendix A, “Safety
Information” .
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
