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 product’s 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.

• Equipment intended for installed in restricted access location.

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 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2.1.1 Removing the Processor Heatsink

The heatsink is attached to the server board or processor socket with captive fasteners.

Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the heatsink corners

in a diagonal manner using the following procedure:

Step 1 Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two

rotations and stop (see letter A).

Step 2 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 screws are loosened.

Step 3 Lift the heatsink straight up (see letter C).

2.1.2.1 Unlatch the CPU Load Plate

Step 1 Push the lever handle labeled “OPEN 1st” (see letter A) down and toward the

CPU socket. Rotate the lever handle up.

Step 2 Repeat the steps for the second lever handle (see letter B).

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.

2.1.2.3 Install the Processor into the socket

Step 1 Remove the processor from its package.

Step 2 Carefully remove the protective cover from the bottom side of the CPU.

Take care not to touch any CPU contacts (see letter A).

Step 3 Orient the processor with the socket so that the processor cutouts match

the four orientation posts on the socket (see letter B). Note 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.

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.

Step 2 Repeat the steps to latch the locking lever on the other side (see letter C).

Latch the levers in the order as shown.

NOTE :

The socket cover should be saved and re-used should the processor

need to be removed at anytime in the future.

2.1.3 Installing the Processor Heatsink

2.1.3.1 If present, remove the protective film covering the Thermal Interface Material

on the bottom side of the heatsink (see letter A).

2.1.3.2 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).

2.1.3.3 Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a diagonal

manner using the following procedure:

Step 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.)

Step 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.

Step 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.
