Installing a server module

Prerequisites

Follow the safety guidelines listed in safety instructions section.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the I/O connectors, do not touch connectors or the connector pins.
NOTE: Before installing the server modules, place the chassis in the location that you want.
NOTE: Install the server module partitions to install half-height server module(s). For more information, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX Enclosure Owner’s Manual at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

Steps

  1. If you are installing a new server module, remove the plastic cover from the I/O connector(s) and save for future use.
  2. Orient the server module so that the module handle is on the left side of the server module.
    CAUTION: While installing the server modules, ensure that they are properly aligned with the slots, to prevent damage to the server module connectors.
  3. Align the server module with the server module slot and guide rails on the enclosure.
  4. Slide the server module into the enclosure until the module release handle engages and the server module is locked in place.
