Prerequisites
Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
Turn off the system, including all attached peripherals.
Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
Remove the system cover.
Removing the air shroud:
To remove the air shroud from a two processor configuration system, hold the shroud at both ends and lift it out of the system.
To remove the air shroud from a four processor configuration system:
Remove the expansion card risers. See Removing the expansion card riser.
Hook the expansion card riser on the side of the system by using the I/O riser handle on the expansion card riser.
CAUTION:To avoid damage to the PCIe cables connected to the NVMe cards installed in the expansion card riser, ensure that you hook the riser to the system using the I/O riser handle.
Hold the shroud at both ends and lift it away from the system.
Remove the BOSS card.
NOTE:Removing the BOSS card is similar to the procedure for removing an expansion card riser.
Removing the M.2 module:
Loosen the screws and lift the retention straps that secure the M.2 SSD module on the BOSS card.
Pull the M.2 SSD module away from the BOSS card.
Installing the M.2 module:
Align the M.2 SSD module connectors with the connectors on the BOSS card.
Push the M.2 SSD module until the module is seated firmly on the BOSS card.
Secure the M.2 SSD module on the BOSS card with the retention straps and screws.
Install the BOSS card.
NOTE:Installing the BOSS card is similar to installing the expansion card riser.
Installing the air shroud:
To install the air shroud in a two processor configuration system:
Lower the air shroud into the system until it is firmly seated.
When firmly seated, the memory socket numbers marked on the air shroud align with the respective memory sockets on the system board.
To install the air shroud in a four processor configuration system:
Align the slots on the air shroud with the tabs on the processor expansion module (PEM) handle.
Lower the air shroud into the system until it is firmly seated.
When firmly seated, the memory socket numbers marked on the air shroud align with the memory sockets on the PEM.
Press the blue touch point to ensure that the air shroud is seated firmly.
Unhook the expansion card riser from the side of the system.
Install the expansion card risers.
Install the system cover.
Reconnect the peripherals and connect the system to the electrical outlet.
Turn on the attached peripherals and then turn on the system.
