SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before getting started, please read the following important cautions:
All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be noted.
Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge. Therefore, be
sure to ground yourself at all times when installing the internal components.
Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in static-shielded
devices. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in any electronic supply store.
Be sure to turn off the power and then disconnect the power cords from your system
before performing any installation or servicing. A sudden surge of power could damage
sensitive electronic components.
Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician should do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch
an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
Place this equipment on a stable surface when install. A drop or fall could cause injury.
Please keep this equipment away from humidity.
Carefully mount the equipment into the rack, in such manner, that it won’t be
hazardous due to uneven mechanical loading.
This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with maximum
ambient temperature below 35°C.
The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings. This could cause fire or electrical
shock.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label
when connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output
power of loads shall be within the specification.
This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using. Pay special
attention to power supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power strips.
Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the
power cord. The power cord must be rated for the
iii
product, voltage and current marked on the products electrical ratings label. The voltage
and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked
on the product.
If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to avoid
being damaged by transient over-voltage.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel should
open the equipment.
If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by service
personnel:
1. The power cord or plug is damaged.
2. Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
3. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
4. The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user manual.
5. The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
6. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
7. Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is recommended for
cleaning.
Module and drive bays must not be empty! They must have a dummy cover.
Product features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
CAUTION :
risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
After performing any installation or servicing, make sure the
enclosure are lock and screw in position, turn on the power.

2.1.1 Removing the Central Processing Unit
Step 1 Remove the heatsink. The heatsink is attached to the server board or
processor socket with captive fasteners. Use a #2 Phillips* screwdriver to
loosen the screws x 4 located on the heatsink corners diagonally using the
following procedure (1a) to (1b).
(1a) Use a #2 Phillips* screwdriver and start with screw 1 and loosen it by
giving it two rotations and stop (see letter A).
(1b) Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop (see
letter B). Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4. Repeat steps A and B by giving
each screw two rotations each time until all the screws are loosened.
(1c) Lift the heatsink upward (see letter C).

2.1.2 Installing the Processor
CAUTION :
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if
you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server.
CAUTION :
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following:
(1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or
server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal
chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor.
(2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

SB212-PH User's Manual
Step 1 Remove the processor from its package by following procedures (1a) to
(1b).
(1a) Carefully remove the protective cover from the backside of the CPU.
taking care not to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).
(1b) Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts match
the four orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Verify the location
of a gold key at the corner of the processor (see letter C). Carefully place
(Do NOT drop) the CPU into the socket.
CAUTION :
The pins inside the CPU socket are extremely sensitive. Other than
the CPU, no object should make contact with the pins inside the
CPU socket. A damaged CPU socket pin may render the socket inoperable,
and will produce erroneous CPU or other system errors if used.
NOTE :
The underside of the processor has components that may damage the
socket pins if installed improperly. The processor must align correctly
with the socket opening before installation. DO NOT DROP the
processor into the socket.
NOTE :
When possible, a CPU insertion tool should be used when installing the
CPU.

Step 2 Remove the socket cover from the load plate.
Step 3 Close the load plate.
Step 4 Secure the Load Plate.
(4a) Push downward on the locking lever on the CLOSE 1st side (see letter A).
Slide the tip of the lever under the notch in the load plate (see letter B).
Make sure the load plate tab engages under the socket lever when fully
closed.
(4b) Repeat the steps to latch the locking lever on the other side (see letter C).
Latch the levers in the order as demonstrated.
NOTE :
The socket cover should be saved and re-used should the processor
need to be removed at anytime in the future.
Save the

Step 5 Installing the heatsink on top of the processor.
(5a) If present, remove the protective film covering the thermal interface
material on the bottom side of the heatsink (see letter A).
(5b) Align the heatsink fins to the front and back of the chassis for correct
airflow. The airflow goes from front-to-back of the chassis (see letter B).
(5c) Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened
diagonally using the following procedure:
(5c-1) Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage
screw threads by giving it two rotations and stop (see letter C) (Do
not fully tighten).
(5c-2) Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two
rotations and stop (see letter D). Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.
(5c-3) Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time
until each screw is lightly tightened up to a maximum of 8 inch-lbs
torque (see letter E).
NOTE :
The processor heatsink for CPU1 and CPU2 is different. FXXCA91X91HS is
for CPU1, while FXXEA91X91HS2 is for CPU2. Mislocating the heatsink
will cause serious thermal damage.
