Removal and replacement procedures In this section Safety considerations.............................................................................................................................. 11 Preparation procedures........................................................................................................................... 12 ATA drive cage assembly........................................................................................................................
Rack warnings and cautions WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.
Power down the server blade Before powering down the server blade, always back up critical data. Power down the server blade using either of the following methods: • Press the Power On/Standby button on the server blade front panel. Be sure that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the power LED is amber. This process may take 30 seconds, during which time some internal circuitry remains active. • Use the virtual power button feature in iLO.
ATA drive cage assembly To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Remove the drive cage assembly. IMPORTANT: Be sure to disconnect the hard drive cable from the system board before removing the drive cage assembly. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. ATA hard drive option To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3.
4. Remove the cover plate and, if necessary, the center plate. 5. Remove the drive from the cage. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. The drive cage assembly lower drive bay is designated as the primary hard drive bay and must be populated first. Before installing a hard drive, be sure the jumper on the hard drive is set to CS so that the drive device ID is determined by the hard drive connection to the hard drive cable. SAS drive cage assembly To remove the component: 1.
3. Remove the drive cage assembly. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. SAS hard drive option To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Remove the SAS drive cage assembly (on page 15). 4. Remove the cover plate and, if necessary, the center plate.
5. Remove the hard drive. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. The drive cage assembly lower drive bay is designated as the primary hard drive bay and must be populated first. SAS controller and cables To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Disconnect the hard drive cables from the hard drives.
4. Disconnect the cables from the controller. 5. Remove the SAS controller. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Air baffle (dual-core processor models only) To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13).
3. Remove the air baffle. CAUTION: To ensure proper airflow, always install the air baffle when installing a dual-core processor. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. DIMMs To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. For DIMM bank B, remove the air baffle. ("Air baffle (dual-core processor models only)" on page 18) NOTE: Dual-core processor models only.
4. Remove the DIMM. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. CAUTION: Use only HP DIMMs. DIMMs from other sources may adversely affect data integrity. Observe the following DIMM installation guidelines: • All DIMMs must be PC3200 DDR 400-MHz SDRAM DIMMs, or PC2700 DDR 333-MHz SDRAM DIMMs. • Both DIMM slots in a bank must be populated. • Both DIMMs in a bank must be identical. • DIMM bank A must always be populated.
3. Open the processor cage and remove the heatsink. IMPORTANT: Processor socket 1 must always be populated. If processor socket 1 is empty, the server blade does not power up. 4. Remove the processor. To replace the component: 1. Install the processor. CAUTION: Be sure that the processor socket locking lever is open before installing the processor into the socket. CAUTION: The processor is designed to fit one way into the socket.
CAUTION: Be sure that the processor socket locking lever is closed after the processor is installed. The lever should close without resistance. Forcing the lever closed can damage the processor and socket, requiring system board replacement. 2. Close the processor locking lever. 3. Remove the protective cover from the thermal interface.
4. Insert the heatsink and close the processor cage. Closing the processor cage aligns the heatsink. CAUTION: To ensure proper cooling of the dual-core processor, the old air baffle must be replaced when upgrading from a single-core processor to a dual-core processor. IMPORTANT: To ensure proper cooling, be sure the correct processor air baffle is installed at all times. Fan assembly To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3.
5. Remove the fan assembly. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter (2 GB) To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Remove the FC adapter. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. NIC riser board To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Remove the Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter, if installed ("Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter (2 GB)" on page 24). 4. Remove the NIC riser board. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Power converter module To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Remove the power converter module.
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Power button/LED cable To remove the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 13). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 13). 3. Remove the drive cage assembly ("ATA drive cage assembly" on page 14, "SAS drive cage assembly" on page 15). 4. Remove the air baffle, if necessary ("Air baffle (dual-core processor models only)" on page 18). 5. Remove the fan assembly ("Fan assembly" on page 23). 6. Remove the power button/LED cable.
