Warning

1. A shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and also

to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It is essential

that only the supplied power cord be used.

2. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment.

3. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

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 specication on the label when

connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output power of

loads shall be within the specication.

• 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 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.

Safety Instructions

ii

iii

• 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 qualied 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.

2�1 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2�1�1 Removing the processor

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).

CAUTION

Do not full loosen.

(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).

Chapter 2 Hardware SetupSB402-LB User's Manual

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.

Chapter 2 Hardware SetupSB402-LB 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. Take 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.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

When possible, a CPU insertion tool shoule be used when installing the CPU.
