AirSpeed 5000 Server Hardware Upgrade Checklist
This checklist contains the necessary tasks required to upgrade your AirSpeed 5000 Server
Hardware.
Removing and Replacing the Server Main Cover
The AirSpeed 5000 server must be operated with the chassis cover in place to ensure proper
cooling. However, you will need to remove the main cover to add or replace components inside
of the server (Video I/O board set). Before removing the main cover, power down the server and
unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cables.
n
A nonskid surface or a stop behind the server may be needed to prevent the server from sliding
on your work surface.
To remove the server main cover:
1. Observe the safety precautions described in “Electrostatic Discharge Precautions” on
page 151 and “Safety and Regulatory Information” in the AirSpeed 5000 Setup Guide.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Then, turn off the server.
3. Disconnect the AC power cords.
