Prerequisites
WARNING:The heat sink may remain hot to touch for some time after the system is powered down. Allow the heat sink to cool before removing it.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
Power off the system and all attached peripherals.
Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the peripherals.
Opening the drive bays:
If locked, unlock the drive bay lock located above the left release latch, by pushing it up.
Open the release latches of drive bay 1 and pull the drive bays out.
Removing a drive carrier:
Press the release button to open the drive carrier release handle.
Holding the handle, slide the drive carrier out of the drive slot.
Closing the drive bays:
Pull back the blue release tabs on both sides and slide the drive bays into the system, until both the bays lock into place.
If required, lock the drive bay lock located above left release latch, by pushing it down.
Removing a power supply unit:
Press the release latch and slide the PSU out of the system by using the PSU handle.
Remove the system from the rack and place it on an ESD work bench.
Removing the system cover:
Using a 1/4-inch flat head or Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the lock counterclockwise to the unlock position.
Press the release tabs on the system cover, and slide the cover towards the rear of the system.
Lift the cover from the system.
Removing the air shroud:
Lift the air shroud away from the system.
Removing the rear drive cage:
Using Phillips #2 screwdriver, loosen the screws that secure the drive cage to the system.
Disengage the rear drive cage from the chassis by pushing it towards the front of the system and lift the drive cage away from the system.
Removing expansion card from the system board:
Press and lift up the expansion card retention latch to open.
Hold the expansion card by the edges and lift the card to disconnect it from the system board connector.
If the expansion card is not going to be replaced, install a filler bracket by performing the following steps:
a. Align the filler bracket with the slot on the system.
b. Push the filler bracket downward until firmly seated.
c. Close the retention latch by pressing the latch down until the latch snaps into place.
NOTE:Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion card slots to maintain FCC certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
Removing a processor and heat sink module:
Using a Torx #T30 screwdriver, loosen the screws on the heat sink in the order below:
a. Loosen the first screw three turns.
b. Loosen the second screw completely.
c. Return to the first screw and loosen it completely.
Pushing both blue retention clips simultaneously, lift the processor and heat sink module (PHM) processor and heat sink module.
Set the PHM aside with the processor side facing up.
Installing a processor and heat sink module:
Align the pin 1 indicator of the heat sink to the system board and then place the processor and heat sink module (PHM) on the processor socket.
CAUTION:To avoid damaging the fins on the heat sink, do not press down on the heat sink fins.
NOTE:Ensure that the PHM is held parallel to the system board to prevent damaging the components.
Push the blue retention clips inward to allow the heat sink to be lowered into place.
Using the Torx #T30 screwdriver, tighten the screws on the heat sink in the order below:
a. Partially tighten the first screw (approximately 3 turns).
b. Tighten the second screw completely.
c. Return to the first screw and tighten it completely.
If the PHM slips off the blue retention clips when the screws are partially tightened, follow these steps to secure the PHM:
a. Loosen both the heat sink screws completely.
b. Lower the PHM on to the blue retention clips, following the procedure described in step 2.
c. Secure the PHM to the system board, following the replacement instructions listed in step 3.
Installing expansion card on the system board:
Unpack the expansion card and prepare it for installation.
For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket.
a. Press and lift the expansion card retention latch.
b. Pull the filler bracket upward out of the system.
NOTE:Store the filler bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion card slots to maintain FCC certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
Holding the card on the edges, align the card with the expansion card connector on the system board.
Press the expansion card firmly into the expansion card connector on the system board until the card is fully seated.
Close the retention latch by pressing the latch down until the latch snaps into place.
Installing the rear drive cage:
Lower the drive cage into the system and push the rear drive cage towards the rear of the system, until it is firmly seated.
Using Phillips #2 screwdriver, tighten the screws.
Installing the air shroud:
Align the slots on the air shroud with the guide pin on the system.
NOTE:Route the cable properly to prevent the cable from being pinched or crimped.
Lower the air shroud into the system until it is firmly seated.
Installing the system cover:
Align the tabs on the system cover with the guide slots on the system.
Slide the cover towards the front of the system, until the system cover locks in place.
Using a 1/4 inch flat head or Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the lock clockwise to the lock position.
Place the system into the rack.
Opening the drive bays:

Open the release latches of drive bay 1 and pull the drive bays out.
Installing a drive carrier:
Press the release button on the front of the drive carrier to open the release handle.
Insert and slide the drive carrier into the drive slot.
Close the drive carrier release handle until it clicks in place.
Closing the drive bays:
Pull back the blue release tabs on both sides and slide the drive bays into the system, until both the bays lock into place.
