Take note of the following operations before you start to install or remove any internal components.
2.1.1 Power Off
The server does not completely power off when the front panel power button is pressed. The button
toggles server power between On and Standby. In Standby mode, the server removes power from most
electronics and drives, but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active. To
completely remove all power from the system, disconnect the power cord from the server.
Power off the Server Blade
Press the power button to power off the
server blade and make sure the power LED
changes from green to red.
Figure 2-1 Powering off the server blade
To power off the server, please refer to “2.1.1 Power Off” in the Chassis User Manual.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, remove the power cord to
completely disconnect power from the system.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure you
are properly grounded before starting any installation procedure. For more information, see
“Electrostatic Discharge Information” in “About This Manual” of Chassis User Manual.

If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, check the battery that provides
power to the real time clock. If necessary, replace the old battery with a CR2032 lithium battery.
Under normal use, battery life is at least 5 years.
The location of battery is shown as below:
Figure 2-2 Battery Location
Caution: Loss of BIOS settings occurs when the battery is removed. BIOS settings must
be reconfigured whenever the battery is replaced.
Caution: Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of together
with general household waste. Use the public collection system or return used batteries to
your authorized partners or their agents for proper recycling and disposal.
Important: Before you install or remove the battery, please see “2.1 Before You Start”.
