The procedures in this guide require that you remove the cover and work inside the system. While working inside the system, do not attempt to service the system except as explained in this manual and elsewhere in your system documentation. Always follow the instructions closely. Make sure to review all of the procedures in "Safety Instructions" in your System Information document.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your System
Information document for complete safety information.
This section provides servicing procedures for components inside the system. Before you start any of the procedures in this section, perform the following tasks:
Figure 4-1 shows the rack and tower versions of your system. The illustrations in this document are based on the tower version with the system laying on its right side.
The bezel has status and caution indicators. Opening or removing the bezel provides access to the power switch, diskette drive, CD drive, and hard drive(s). You must open the bezel and remove the system covers to gain access to internal components.
The system is enclosed by a bezel and two covers. To upgrade or troubleshoot the system, remove the system covers to gain access to internal components. The back cover must be removed before removing the front cover.
In Figure 4-5, the system covers are removed and the bezel is opened to provide an interior view of the system.
Figure 4-5. Inside the System
The I/O board can accommodate up to 11 PCI expansion cards (10 PCI or PCI-X cards at 64 bit/33–100 MHz and one PCI card at 32 bit/33 MHz). The system memory is contained on two separate riser cards that must be populated with at least two memory modules each for the system to operate. The peripheral bay provides space for four additional 1-inch SCSI hard drives or one tape drive.
The hard-drive bays provide space for up to eight 1-inch SCSI hard drives. These hard drives are connected to a RAID controller card through the SCSI backplane board.
The power supply distribution board (PSDB) provides hot-plug logic and power distribution for the system. Your system can utilize an AC module or an optional, integrated redundant AC power module to provide AC current to the hot-pluggable power supplies. The AC module is used when a redundant power source is not required. The integrated redundant AC power module enables your system to use two AC inputs. Your system can operate on either of these inputs and automatically switches from the failing power source. The three hot-pluggable power supplies slide into connectors mounted on the PSDB and provide power to the system board, SCSI backplane board, and internal peripherals.
For non-SCSI drives such as the diskette drive and CD drive, an interface cable connects the interposer board, attached to the CD/diskette drive tray, to the peripheral riser card. For SCSI devices, interface cables connect externally accessible SCSI devices and the SCSI backplane board to a SCSI host adapter on either the I/O riser card or an expansion card (for more information, see "External SCSI Tape Drive").
During an installation or troubleshooting procedure, you may be required to change a jumper. For information on jumpers, see "Jumpers and Connectors."
CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
NOTICE: Ensure that the memory riser card handles and the peripheral riser card handles are
in the closed position before installing the fan assembly tray.
Align the alignment tabs with the slots in the chassis (see Figure 4-8).
CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
NOTICE: Ensure that the memory riser card handles and the peripheral riser card handles are
in the closed position before installing a cooling fan.
NOTE: The procedure for replacing each individual fan is the same.
Lower the fan into the fan assembly until the fan snaps into position (see Figure 4-9).
NOTE: After installing a new fan, allow up to 30 seconds for the system to recognize the
fan and determine whether it is working properly. The status indicator becomes green to
signify that the fan is functioning properly (see Figure 4-9).
Rotate the handle down into the installed position.
Slide the back cover forward.
Tighten the thumbscrew that secures the back cover to the chassis (see "Replacing the
Back Cover").
CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
Squeeze the power-supply handle's release tab and rotate the handle down (see
Figure 4-10).
NOTICE: The power supplies are hot-pluggable. The system requires two power supplies to be
installed for the system to operate normally. The system is in the redundant mode when all three
power supplies are installed. Remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system
that is powered on.
Remove the power supply by pulling the power supply straight out to clear the chassis
(see Figure 4-10).
Figure 4-10. Removing and Replacing Power Supplies
CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
Slide the new power supply into the chassis (see Figure 4-10).
Rotate the power supply handle up until it snaps into place, securing the power supply
to the chassis.
NOTE: After installing a new power supply, allow several seconds for the system to
recognize the power supply and determine whether it is working properly. The power-on
indicator becomes green to signify that the power supply is functioning properly (see
Figure 3-5).
Your system can operate with an AC module or an integrated redundant AC power module. The AC module is used when a redundant power source is not required. The integrated redundant AC power module enables your system to use two AC inputs. Your system can operate on either of these inputs and automatically switches from a failing power source. Both of these modules are removed and replaced using the same procedure.
The system includes 11 hot-pluggable expansion slots. Slot 1 operates at 33 MHz. Slots 2 through 11 are capable of operating at 33, 66, or 100 MHz. The expansion slots are on six different PCI buses (see Figure 5-3 for expansion-slot buses and operating speeds).
Use the following guidelines when installing expansion cards:
If you are installing a remote access card, it must be installed in slot 1. Slot 1 operates at 33 MHz.
RAID controller cards for internal drives must be installed in expansion slot 2 or 3.
You can install expansion cards of different operating speeds on the same bus; however, all cards on the same bus will operate at the speed of the slowest card on that bus. For example, if one card on the bus has an operating speed of 66 MHz and the other card has an operating speed of 100 MHz, the bus will operate only at 66 MHz.
To optimize performance, install only one expansion card on a single PCI bus. Otherwise, install only cards of the same operating speed on the same PCI bus. To identify the PCI buses, see Figure 5-3.
If you are replacing an expansion card with a card of a slower operating speed, you must power down the system to install the replacement card.
If the expansion card you are installing is of a slower operating speed than the cards already installed on the same PCI bus, you must power down all expansion slots on that bus. This action ensures that all expansion cards on that bus power up at the same operating speed. Otherwise, you can install the expansion card in an expansion slot that is alone on a PCI bus or on a PCI bus with cards of the same or slower operating speeds. To identify the PCI buses, see Figure 5-3.
Certain operating systems support only "hot-replace," in which a hot-pluggable expansion card is replaced with its exact equivalent, using the same PCI resources.
If you are hot-plugging a NIC expansion card, you must either hot-plug the NIC in an expansion slot that is alone on a PCI bus or on a PCI bus with no card other than another NIC. To identify the PCI buses, see Figure 5-3.
If you have trouble hot-plugging a particular expansion card, turn off your system before installing the card. If the problem persists, see "Obtaining Technical Assistance."
The system's BIOS scans and numbers PCI buses and devices during startup. Expansion slots are scanned according to the host bus ordering, not the slot numbers. See Table 4-1 for the order in which the expansion slots and embedded PCI devices are scanned. Figure 5-3 provides a diagram of the PCI buses and expansion slots.
Certain operating systems do not allow the PCI bus number of the system's boot controller to change after the operating system loads. Installing an expansion card with its own PCI bridge chip in an expansion slot earlier in the PCI bus scan order than the boot controller can cause the renumbering of the boot controller PCI bus number.
To allow your operating system to properly use the boot controller expansion card, install the boot controller card, such as a RAID or SCSI controller card, in expansion slot 2.
Several additional factors affect the assignment of PCI bus numbers:
An expansion card may have its own PCI bridge chip, which requires the assignment of a bus number for the card as well as one for the bridge. A particular expansion card may have two PCI bridge chips, which would result in three sequential PCI bus numbers all assigned in the same expansion slot.
The BIOS reserves PCI bus numbers that can be used when a hot-pluggable expansion card with its own PCI bridge chip is installed in the system.
If you install expansion cards, you may have some difficulty in directly determining the bus number of a controller on a particular expansion card. However, the PCI bus scan order listed in Table 4-1 can help you determine the relative numbering of PCI buses within the expansion slots. For example, a PCI controller residing in expansion slot 3 will never have a lower bus number than one in slot 2 because slot 2 precedes slot 3 in the scan order.
CAUTION: If your system's operating system does not support hot-plug PCI or
PCI-X expansion cards or the expansion card itself does not support hot-plug
installation, turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and
disconnect the system from its electrical outlet. Read the safety instructions in
your System Information document.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety
instructions in your System Information document.
See the documentation that came with the expansion card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise customizing the card for your system.
Open the plastic expansion-card latch:
Press and hold the plastic tab on the outside of the system chassis.
Press the release tab on the latch inside the system chassis (see Figure 4-12).
Open the expansion-card latch and remove the filler bracket.
If your operating system does not support hot-plug expansion cards, turn off the
system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its
electrical outlet.
If your operating system does support hot-plug expansion cards, press the expansion-slot notify button and wait until the status indicator turns green.
Position the expansion card so that the card-edge connector aligns with the
expansion-card connector on the I/O board.
Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion-card connector until the
card is fully seated.
Figure 4-12. Installing an Expansion Card
When the card is seated in the connector, close the expansion-card latch and the
card-guide latch (see Figure 4-12).
Connect any cables that should be attached to the card.
See the documentation that came with the card for information about its cable connections.
NOTE: SCSI cables connected from an expansion card to the SCSI backplane board
should be routed under the fan assembly tray.
NOTE: If the expansion card you are installing is of a slower operating speed than the
cards already installed on the same PCI bus, you must power down all expansion slots on
that bus. This action ensures that all expansion cards on that bus power up at the same
operating speed.
Press the notify button for the expansion card that you installed and wait until the
LED turns green.
If you turned off your system in step 3 because your operating system does not support hot-plug expansion cards, replace the system back cover, reconnect the system to its electrical outlet, including any attached peripherals, and turn on the system.
CAUTION: If your system's operating system does not support hot-plug PCI or
PCI-X expansion cards or the expansion card itself does not support hot-plug
installation, turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and
disconnect the system from its electrical outlet. Read the safety instructions in
your System Information document.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety
instructions in your System Information document.
If your system's operating system does not support hot-plug expansion cards, turn off
the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its
electrical outlet.
If your operating system does support hot-plug expansion cards, press the notify button for the expansion slot and wait until the LED turns off.
Disconnect any cables connected to the card.
Release the expansion card:
Grasp the card-guide latch and pull it away from the chassis (see Figure 4-12).
Press and hold the plastic tab on the outside of the system chassis.
Press the release tab on the expansion-card latch inside the system (see
Figure 4-12).
Open the expansion-card latch.
Grasp the expansion card by its top corners, and carefully remove it from the
expansion-card connector.
If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty
card-slot opening.
NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot to maintain Federal
Communications Commission (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.
If you turned off your system in step 2 because your system's operating system does not support hot-plug expansion cards, replace the system back cover, reconnect the system to its electrical outlet, including any attached peripherals, and turn on the system.
The I/O riser card provides the communication signals for an external SCSI device, the chassis intrusion switch, and the back-panel status indicator, as well as for external devices connected to the system back panel. The I/O riser card also contains the system configuration jumpers and the embedded server management processor.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the thumbscrew that secures the
expansion-card insulator to the I/O board (see Figure 4-14).
While lifting the expansion-card insulator, use a flat-tipped screwdriver to release the
insulator clips from both sides of the I/O board (see Figure 4-14).
Remove the expansion-card insulator from the chassis.
Figure 4-14. Removing the Expansion-Card Insulator and I/O Board
The memory modules are contained on two memory riser cards. Each riser card has eight memory module sockets. Between the two memory riser cards, the system can accommodate from 512 MB to 16 GB of registered memory. The memory module sockets on each riser card are arranged in pairs (A and B) on four banks (1–4). Memory modules must be installed in at least one bank on each memory riser card for the system to operate. The memory modules should be installed starting with bank 1 and ending with bank 4 (see Figure 4-17). Each bank on each memory riser card must contain memory modules of the same size. For example, if bank 1 on one riser card contains 128-MB memory modules, bank 1 on the other riser card must also contain 128-MB memory modules.
To obtain the desired total memory for your system, you may need to install memory modules of different sizes. This is supported as long as the memory modules installed in each bank are the same size. For example, if you want the total memory in your system to be 6 GB, each memory riser card configuration could be as follows:
The system is upgradable to 16 GB by installing combinations of 128-, 256-, 512-MB, and 1-GB registered memory modules. You can purchase memory upgrade kits as needed.
NOTE: The memory modules must be PC-1600 compliant.
Memory module sockets are arranged in pairs, labeled A and B, on each memory riser card. A pair of sockets on each memory riser card forms a single memory bank. See Figure 4-17 to identify the sockets on a memory riser card.
When you install memory modules, follow these guidelines:
Each bank must contain identical modules. You must install memory modules in matched sets of four, two in each memory riser card (see Figure 4-17).
Install identical memory modules in sockets A and B for bank 1 before installing modules in sockets for bank 2, and so on.
If you are populating memory banks using different sized memory modules, you must populate the memory banks in decreasing size of memory modules, starting with the largest size memory modules in bank 1.
Memory banks must be populated sequentially, which means that there can be no empty banks between the first and last populated banks.
Figure 4-17. Memory Module Sockets
Table 4-3 lists several sample memory configurations based on these guidelines.
NOTE: This table is a sample configuration of just one memory riser card. For the total desired
memory, you must configure both riser cards identically with the same memory module sizes.
Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system.
After the system completes the POST routine, it runs a memory test.
The system detects that the new memory does not match the system configuration information, which is stored in NVRAM. The monitor displays an error message that ends with the following words:
Press <F1> to continue; <F2> to enter System Setup
Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the System Memory
setting in the system data box.
The system should have already changed the value in the System Memory setting to reflect the newly installed memory.
If the System Memory value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not
be installed properly. Repeat steps 1 through 4 again, checking to make sure that the
memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets.
Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics.
Locate the memory module sockets on each memory riser card in which you will install
a memory module (see Figure 4-17).
Press down and outward on the ejectors, as shown in Figure 4-18, to allow the memory
module to be inserted into the socket.
Figure 4-18. Removing and Replacing Memory Modules
Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key, and insert the
memory module in the socket (see Figure 4-18).
The memory module socket has an alignment key that allows the memory module to be installed in the socket in only one way.
Press down on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors
with your index fingers to lock the memory module into the socket (see Figure 4-18).
When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the memory module socket ejectors align with the ejectors on the other sockets with memory modules installed.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules.
If you are installing a SCSI tape drive in the peripheral bay, you must connect it to the I/O riser card. If you are installing SCSI hard drives in the peripheral bay, you must connect the interface cable from the peripheral bay's daughter card to a RAID controller card.
These interface connectors are keyed for correct insertion. Keying ensures that the pin-1 wire in the cable connects to pin 1 in the connectors on both ends.
When you disconnect an interface cable, take care to grasp the cable connector, rather than the cable itself, to avoid stress on the cable.
Although SCSI devices are installed in essentially the same way as other devices, their configuration requirements are different. To configure a SCSI device installed in the peripheral bay, follow the guidelines in the following subsections.
SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of the SCSI chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated. The SCSI cable included in the upgrade kit has an active terminator installed at the end of the cable. Therefore, when configuring the devices in the peripheral bay, you should disable the device's termination.
CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and
disconnect it from its power source. For more information, read the safety
precautions in your System Information document.
CAUTION: Your system may have more than one power supply cable. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, you must disconnect all power supply cables before
servicing the system. For more information, read the safety precautions in your
System Information document.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety
instructions in your System Information document.

Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.
Prepare the tape drive for installation.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the system, unpack the drive and controller card, and compare the jumper and switch settings with those in the drive documentation.
See "SCSI Configuration Information" for information on setting the drive's SCSI ID number and enabling termination (if required). Change any settings necessary for your system's configuration.
Connect the tape drive's interface cable to the external SCSI connector on the back of
the system.
Secure the connection by tightening the screws on the external SCSI connector.
Reconnect the system and peripherals to electrical outlets, and turn them on.
Perform a tape backup and verification test with the drive as instructed in the software
documentation that came with the drive.
This subsection describes how to install and configure SCSI hard drives in the system's internal hard-drive bays.
The internal hard-drive bays provide space for up to eight 1-inch hard drives. These drives connect to a SCSI backplane board. A SCSI cable connects the backplane board to the RAID controller card.
Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the RAID controller card to ensure that the card is configured correctly to support hot-pluggable drive removal and insertion.
SCSI hard drives are supplied in special drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.
NOTE: You should use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the
SCSI backplane board.
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format hard drives. See "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers" in the User's Guide for information and instructions.
NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can
cause a drive failure.
When you format a high-capacity hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. A 9-GB hard drive, for example, can take up to 2.5 hours to format.
Power down the hard-drive bay and wait until the hard-drive indicator codes on the
drive carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely.
If the drive has been online, the drive status indicator will blink green twice per second as the drive is powered down. When all indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal.
Open the hard-drive handle to release the drive (see Figure 4-23).
Slide the hard drive out until it is free of the drive bay (see Figure 4-23).
If you are permanently removing the hard drive, install a blank insert.
NOTICE: Do not insert a hard-drive carrier and attempt to lock its handle next to a partially
installed carrier. Doing so can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it
unusable. Ensure that the adjacent drive carrier is fully installed.
Insert the hard drive into the drive bay (see Figure 4-23).
The hard-drive bays provide space for up to eight 1-inch SCSI hard drives. These hard drives are connected to a RAID controller card through the primary 1x8 SCSI backplane board. The peripheral bay provides space for four additional 1-inch hard drives which are connected to I/O riser card through the secondary 1x4 SCSI backplane board.
The SCSI cable from the SCSIB connector, if applicable

the bracket, and install the plugs to secure the fasteners.
Align the CD/diskette drive tray with the opening in the front panel.
Slide the CD/diskette drive tray into the system until the tray snaps into place (see
Figure 4-26).
Connect the system to an electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any
attached peripherals.
Follow these general guidelines when installing a RAID controller card. For specific instructions, see the documentation supplied with the controller card.
CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety
instructions in your System Information document.
Unpack the RAID controller card, and prepare it for installation.
For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
If you are connecting the card to internal drives, install the RAID controller card in expansion slot 2 or 3.
Connect the SCSI interface cable as follows, routing it under the fan assembly tray:
To operate the SCSI backplane in a 1 x 8 configuration, connect the interface
cable to the SCSIA connector on the SCSI backplane board and to the RAID
controller card.
To operate the SCSI backplane in a 2 x 4 configuration, connect the interface
cable to the SCSIB connector on the SCSI backplane board and to the RAID
controller card.
To identify the correct RAID controller card connector, see the documentation for the card.

While pressing on the safety latches, pull the microprocessor tray straight out until the
tray clears the chassis.
To take advantage of future options in speed and functionality, you can add additional microprocessors or replace installed microprocessors.
NOTICE: The additional microprocessors must be of the same type as the primary
microprocessor. All microprocessors must also have the same L2 and L3 cache sizes.
Each microprocessor and its associated cache memory are contained in a PGA package that is installed in a ZIF socket on the microprocessor board.
In a single-microprocessor system, the microprocessor must be installed in the CPU1 socket.
NOTE: Microprocessors and their corresponding VRMs must be installed together. A
microprocessor and VRM must be installed in the CPU1 and VRM1 sockets,
respectively, for the system to operate. To identify the CPU1 and VRM1 sockets, see
Figure 5-4.
NOTICE: If a microprocessor socket does not have a microprocessor installed, a heat-sink
blank must be installed for that socket.

Remove the cover.
CAUTION: The microprocessor and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure
the microprocessor has had sufficient time to cool before handling.
NOTICE: Never remove the heat sink from a microprocessor unless you intend to remove the
microprocessor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not all the way up, move it to that
position now.
Align the gold triangle on the microprocessor (see Figure 4-30) with the triangle on
the microprocessor socket.
NOTE: Zero insertion force is needed to install the microprocessor. If the microprocessor is
aligned correctly, it should drop into the microprocessor socket.
NOTICE: Positioning the microprocessor incorrectly can permanently damage the
microprocessor and the system when you turn on the system. When placing the microprocessor
in the socket, be sure that all of the pins on the microprocessor go into the corresponding holes.
Be careful not to bend the pins.
Install the microprocessor in the socket (see Figure 4-30).
When the microprocessor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever
back down until it snaps into place, securing the microprocessor.
