  • Page 76: Removing And Installing The Processor Air Duct

    Removing and Installing the Processor Air Duct Always operate your server chassis with the processor air duct in place. The air duct is required for proper airflow within the chassis. For instructions on adding or replaceing a processor, first remove the processor air duct and the processor air dam, and then see your server board User Guide for instructions on processor installations and removals.
  • Page 77 Installing the Process Air Duct If you are installing the processor air duct for the first time after installing a second processor, break out the airflow tablover on the side of the processor air duct that will fit over the CPU2 processor socket. Place the processor air duct over the two processor sockets, regardless of whether one or two processors is installed.
  • Page 78: Installing Dimms

    Removing the Processor Air Dam (if required) If you are using a server board that includes sockets for two processors for two processors and you install only a single processor or remove the second processor, you must install the processor air dam in the location for processor 2.
  • Page 79: Removing The Dimms

    Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open position. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anit-static package. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket.
  • Page 80: Installing Or Replacing The Processor

    Installing or Replacing 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.
  • Page 81 Lower the socket lever completely. Installing the Heat Skink(s) 1. The heat sink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use caution when you unpack the heat sink so you do not damage the TIM. 2. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four posts surrounding the processor.
  • Page 82: Removing A Processor

    Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the processor sockets. Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the documentation that accompanied your server chassis for instructions on installing the server's cover. Removing a Processor Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.
  • Page 83: Installing And Removing A Hard Disk Drive

    Up to five hot-swaps SCSI drives can be installed into your chassis. The number of drives and the drive type allowed depend on the Altos R710 Server system and the add-in components that you are installing. Installing a Hot-swap Hard Disk Drive Remove the front bezel if it is installed.
  • Page 84 Align the holes in the drive to the holes in the drive carrier and attach it to the carrier with the screws that were attached to the plastic retention device. With the black lever in the fully open position, slide the drive assembly into the chassis. Insert the primary drive in the right bay.
