Dell PowerEdge FC830 Owner's Manual

Removing the sled

Prerequisites

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.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
  3. Turn off the sled using the operating system commands or the CMC, and ensure that the front panel indicator of the sled is not lit.

Steps

  1. Press the release button on the sled handle to unlock the sled handle.
  2. Rotate the sled handle away from the sled to disengage the sled from the midplane connectors.
  3. Slide the sled out of the enclosure.
    CAUTION: To protect the I/O connector pins, install the I/O connector cover every time a sled is removed from the enclosure.
  4. Install the I/O connector cover over the I/O connector.
    CAUTION: If you are permanently removing the sled, install a sled blank. Operating the system for extended periods of time without a sled blank installed can cause the enclosure to overheat.
