Superdome Servers - I/O Expansion Cabinet Guide, Fifth Edition

Chapter 2
Upgrading the Superdome for IOX
32
and Superdome require cutouts for the cables through which to pass. IOXs are shipped with skins that
contain these cutouts. The “pre-IOX-release” Superdome servers require upgrading to skins with cutouts and
cable exit panels.
If the IOX connects to a Superdome 32 Way, you must determine to which side the IOX is connected. If two
IOXs are connected to the Superdome 64 Way server, you must upgrade both cable exit panels.
An IOX can also be connected to a Superdome 64 Way. In this case, you upgrade either the left side (looking
from the front of the server cabinet) of one cabinet or the right side of the other cabinet or both.
When upgrading the right side cable exit panel, you must remove the rear door and the hinge assembly. When
upgrading the left side you must only open the rear door.
Use the following procedure to remove the old Superdome side skin(s) and install new ones and to install new
cable-exit panel(s).
IMPORTANT Before proceeding, determine which side(s) of the Superdome server must be upgraded.
