CHAPTER 4 System Expansion CHAPTER 4 Washingtons (27-38) 27 12/8/03, 11:43 AM
1 System Expansions It may be necessary to update the BIOS when carrying out a system expansion or hardware upgrade. In this case, please contact our customer service centre. When installing components with a high power loss, make sure that the maximum permissible temperatures of the individual components are not exceeded. The device must be switched off when installing/removing the system expansions and may not be in the Suspend mode.
■ Opening the casing Switch the PC off. The PC must not be in the energy-saving mode! CAUTION Please take note of the safety information in the "Important notes" chapter. Pull the power plug out of the mains outlet! If any cables connected to the PC are in the way, disconnect them from the PC Place the system unit in a convenient working position. Press on the clip (1). Push the top cover in the direction of the arrow (2).
■ Installing and removing a board CAUTION Please take note of the “Information about boards” chapter. In the upper three slots you can install boards with a length of up to 230 mm, and in the lower slot boards with a length of up to 315 mm. The number, position and arrangement of the board slots on the mainboard can be found in the technical manual for the mainboard. Boards may already be installed when the device is shipped. Installing a board 1 Open the casing (see "Opening the casing").
5 Make the required settings for the board. 2 6 Push the board up to its slot (1). Ensure that the end of a long board without angle bracket fits into the corresponding guide of the casing. 7 Press the board into the slot so that it engages. 8 Fasten the board into place with the screw (2). 9 If necessary, connect the cables. 10 Close the casing (see "Closing the casing"). If you have installed or removed a PCI board, please check the relevant PCI slot settings in the BIOS Setup.
Removing a board 1 Open the system unit (see "Opening the system unit"). 2 Disconnect the cables connected to the board. 1 3 Remove the screw (1). 4 Remove the board from the system unit (2). 5 Place the board into appropriate packaging. CAUTION To ensure proper cooling, fire protection and observation of the relevant EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations, you must mount a rear slot cover plate.
2 6 Push the rear slot cover plate into the slot (1). 7 Fasten the rear slot cover plate with the screw (2). 8 Close the casing (see "Closing the casing"). CAUTION If you have installed or removed a PCI board, please check the relevant PCI slot settings in the BIOS Setup. If necessary, change the settings. Further information is provided in the PCI board documentation.
■ Low-Profile boards For units with a particularly low overall height, there are so-called low-profile boards with a slot cover with a lower overall height to match the low-profile units. To also install these low-profile boards in normal board slots, you must mount a corresponding slot adapter beforehand. 2 Mounting slot adapter Fit the slot adapter on the slot cover of the low-profile board (1) and screw it on (2).
■ Installing and Removing the Hard Disk Drives Open the casing (see "Opening the casing"). Removing a hard disk drive 2 1 1 1 Press the EasyChange rails mounted on the hard disk drive together somewhat (1) and pull the hard disk drive out of the case in the direction of the arrow (2). 2 Disconnect all cables connected to the drive (data cable, power supply cable). It may be necessary to modify the entry for the drive in the BIOS Setup. 3 Connect the cables to the hard disk drive.
Installing a hard disk drive 1 Take the new hard disk drive out of its packaging. 2 Make the required settings (e.g. master/slave, cable select) on the drives. 3 Secure the EasyChange rails on the side of the hard disk by inserting the upper pins of the EasyChange rail in the corresponding holes of the hard disk. 4 Connect the cables to the hard disk drive.
■ Replacing Lithium Battery In order to permanently save the system information, a lithium battery is installed to provide the CMOSmemory with a current. A corresponding error message notifies the user when the charge is too low or the battery is empty. The lithium battery must then be replaced. CAUTION Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion! The lithium battery may be replaced only with an identical battery or with a type recommended by the manufacturer.
