Product Overview This section describes the LED board and the top and bottom front chassis panels.
Top and Bottom Front Chassis Panels
The top and bottom front chassis panels each comprise a plastic injected-molded bezel
onametalframe.Thetopfrontpanelcoverstheentirefrontchassisopeningandattaches
to the bottom of the chassis frame with two captive screws (see Figure 1). The lower
section of the top front panel houses the air filter, which cleans intake air drawn in by
the blower. Three cutouts in the top of the panel contain semi-opaque black plastic
windows, through which the three system LEDs are visible when they are lit. EMI
shielding surrounds the entire outer edge of the top front panel. The shielding acts as a
spring, and compresses when you push the panel into the chassis to keep the panel fitted
tightly into the chassis opening.
The bottom front panel is vented and covers the lower area of the top front panel that
houses the air filter. The bottom front panel fits over the lower section of the top front
panelandattachestothechassiswithballstuds. Youmustremovethebottom frontpanel
before you can remove the top front panel.
You can removethebottomDfrontpanelwhilethesystemisoperatingtoaccessorclean
the air filter, but always turn system power off before removing the top front panel.

The chassis panels provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and
work with the blower and air filter to maintain a constant flow of cooling air through
the chassis. Replace the chassis panels if they become warped or broken.
LED Board Description
The LED board contains the three LEDs that report system software (Normal) and
power supply (Upper Power and Lower Power) status through semi-opaque panels on
the front of the chassis. Figure 2 shows the three system status indicators.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic boards or
componentsareimproperlyhandled, can resultin complete orintermittentfailures.The
RP, SP, and IPs each comprise a printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral
components of the carrier. The LED board, however, is not intended to be handled and
has no frame or shielding. Handle the LED board by the edges only; never touch the
board components, traces, or connector pins.
Caution: Always handle an LED board by the edges only; avoid touching the board
components, traces, or connector pins.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
■Always use an ESD strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
■When removing or installing an LED board, connect the equipment end of the
ground strap to an unpainted surface of the chassis, such as the vertical metal frame
that is exposed when the front chassis panels are removed.
■Handle boards by the edges only; avoid touching the board components, traces, or
connector pins.
■Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static
shielding bag. If you are returning the board to the factory, immediately place it in
a static shielding bag to avoid ESD damage.
■Avoid contact between the board and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the
board from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause
damage.
Note: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The
measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 Mohms.
List of Parts and ToolsYou need the following tools to replace a front chassis panel or an LED board:
■If you are replacing the top front chassis panel or the LED board, you need a
3/16-inch flat-blade or No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the top front chassis
panel. Earlier chassis (the first several hundred shipped) use slotted screws, and later
chassis use Phillips screws to secure the top front panel to the chassis.
■If you are replacing an LED board, you need an antistatic mat, foam pad, or bag for
the removed board (immediately place a removed board into an antistatic bag if you
will return it to the factory)
No tools are required to remove or replace the bottom front panel or the LED board.

Removing and Replacing the Front Chassis Panels
You must remove the top and bottom front chassis panels to access the chassis interior
to replace the LED board. Carefully follow the instructions for removing and replacing
the top front panel; you can damage or destroy the LED board or top front panel by
forcing a misaligned panel onto or off of the chassis body.
Warning: Before accessing the chassis interior, turn all power supply switches OFF
(O) and unplug the power cord. When the power is ON (|), high current (100A) is
exposed on the backplane and around the power supply and wiring harnesses.
Removing the Panels You must remove the bottom front panel before you can remove the top front panel.
The plastic bottom front panel is attached to the chassis with ball studs. The top front
panel is attached to the chassis with two captive screws. The EMI shielding around the
outer edge of the top front panel acts as a spring, and compresses when you push the
panel into the chassis to keep the panel fitted tightly into the chassis opening.
To remove the front panels, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Grasp the bottom edge of the bottom chassis panel.
Step 2: Pull the bottom of the panel out about one inch, then place your fingers
behind the sides of the panel and pull it off the chassis (see Figure 5).

Step 3: On the top front panel, use a screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws at
the bottom edge of the panel frame.
Step 4: Place one hand against the top front center of the panel to brace it (see
Figure 6a). The top of the panel acts as a pivot point when you pull the
bottom out and away from the chassis.
Figure 6 Removing the Top Front Panel
Step 5: With your other hand, grasp the front of the panel by inserting your fingers
into the opening on the underside of the bezel (see Figure 6a).
Step 6: While pushing slightly against the top of the panel to constrain it, pivot the
bottom edge of the frame outward about two inches (see Figure6a). Because
ofthe tightly compressedEMI shielding, youwillhavetousesignificantforce
to pull the bottom of the panel outward. However, be careful that you do not
pullthe panel morethan twoinchesawayfromthechassis,or youcandamage
the inner bezel or LED board.
Step 7: When the bottom of the frame clears the chassis opening, keep your hands in
the same positions and pull the panel downward and off the chassis (see
Figure 6b).
Replacing the Panels To replace the front panels, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Grasp the sides of the top panel with both hands (see Figure 6a).

Step 2: Two guide tabs at the top edges of the panel fit into two slots in the top edges
of the chassis opening. Tilt the top of the panel back (away from you) about
30 degrees from vertical and slide the two guide tabs into the chassis slots (see
Figure 7a).
Step 3: Check the top of the panel and make sure it is lined up with the top of the
chassisopening.Failuretoalignthepanelatthis pointcanresultinequipment
damage when performing the next step.
Step 4: Pushthe panel upward topush the tabs into theslots (see Figure7a)and pivot
the bottom of the panel toward the chassis until the panel frame meets the
chassis (see Figure 7b). Maintain a steady upward pressure to keep the guide
tabs in the chassis slots.
Step 5: Whenthepanel is flush against the frontof the chassis, push the panel upward
until the bottom of the panel is level with the bottom of the chassis opening
(see Figure 7c).
Step 6: While holding the panel in place, place one palm against the top front center
of the panel to brace it, and place the other against the lip near the bottom
edge of the frame (see Figure 7d).
Step 7: Push the panel upward and back into the chassis opening until the tabs on the
frontsidesofthe panel areflushagainstthefrontofthechassis(see Figure 7d).
You will have to use significant force to compress the EMI shielding enough
tofit into the opening. If the panel resists,pull it slightly downwardandmake
sure that the panel is lined up with the top and sides of the opening in the
chassis.
Step 8: When the tabs on the front sides of the panel are flush against the sides of the
chassis, tighten the two captive screws in the bottom edge of the frame.
Step 9: To replace the bottom front panel, place the ball studs on the back of the
panel over the holes in the front lip of the chassis and push the panel onto the
chassis until the ball studs snap into place.
This completes the chassis front panel removal and replacement procedures.
Removing and Replacing the LED Board
The LED board slides horizontally into two mounting brackets near the top of the
chassis interior and connects directly to the backplane. You must turn all system power
off and remove the top and bottom front chassis panels to access the chassis interior.
Warning: Before accessing the chassis interior, turn the power switch to OFF (O)
and unplug the power cord. The backplane carries dangerous current levels.

Removing the LED Board
To remove the existing LED board, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Ensure that all system power is turned OFF and that power cords are
disconnected from the power supplies or the power source.
Step 2: Follow the steps in “Removing the Panels” on page 7 to remove the top and
bottom front chassis panels.
Step 3: If you have not already done so, slip on an ESD-prevention grounding strap.
(A disposable wrist strap is included with all spare boards.) Connect the
equipment end of the strap to an unpainted surface inside the chassis, such as
the metal frame that is exposed when the front panels are removed.
Step 4: Locatethe LEDboard(seeFigure3),whichismountedonahorizontal plane
in two plastic brackets near the top of the chassis.
Step 5: Two steel pins near the front of the brackets hold the board in place (see
Figure 4). On each pin, place your thumb on the top of the pin and your
forefinger underneath the bracket to support it, and press the pins down and
out of the guide holes in the board.
Caution: Handle the LED board by the edges only to avoid damage from ESD.
Step 6: Grasp the edges of the board and place a finger on the top of the LED board
spring to depress it.
Step 7: Keep the spring depressed as you pull the board straight out at a 90-degree
orientation to the backplane.
Step 8: Place the board in an antistatic bag if returning it to the factory.
Installing a New LED Board
To install the new LED board, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Ensure that the power supplies are still turned OFF and disconnected from
the power source, and that you are still wearing a ground strap.
Caution: Handle the LED board by the edges only to avoid damage from ESD.
Step 2: Hold the board with the LEDs toward you, with the spring on the top, and
with the LEDs and components on the underside of the board.Grasp the
edges of the board and place a finger on the top of the LED board spring to
depress it (see Figure 4).
Step 3: Slide the back edge of the board (the end with the connector) into the guides
in the plastic brackets (see Figure 4).
Step 4: Keep the spring depressed as you push the board straight in at a 90-degree
orientation to the backplane until the connector on the LED board is fully
seated in the backplane connector.

Step 5: Slowly release the spring and allow it to spring up against the chassis ceiling.
Step 6: A steel pin at the front of each bracket holds the board in place (see Figure 4).
On each side, place your thumb underneath the pin and your forefinger on
top of the bracket to support it, and press the pin up through the guide in the
board.If the pin does not extend fully upward, push the boardfirmlyinto the
backplane connector until the pins align with the guide holes in the board.
Step 7: Refer to the “Replacing the Panels” on page 8 to replace the top and bottom
front chassis panels before you restart the system to verify the installation.
This completes the installation. Proceed to the next section to restart the system and
verify that the new LED board functions correctly.
Installation CheckoutPerform the following steps to verify that the new LED board functions correctly.
Step 1: Turn all power supplies back ON and observe the three system status
indicators on the front panel.
Step 2: Whenyou turn each power supply ON,thecorrespondingUpperPower and
Lower Power LEDs on the front panel should light for each bay in which a
power supply is installed and turned ON. If any do not light, do the
following:
■Check the AC Power LED on the power supply. If it is lit, suspect that
thefrontpanel LED has failed and proceedwiththe installation checkout
to determine if the other LEDs light.
■If the AC Power LED is not lit, or if the DC Fail LED is lit, ensure that
the power supply is fully inserted in the power supply bay and that the
captive installation screw on the top of the supply is tightened. The
switch will not turn completely to the ON (|) position unless the supply
is installed correctly.
■Ensure that the power cord is fully seated in the power supply port and
that the retention clip is snapped up around the plug.
■Check the cable connection at the power source and ensure that it is
connected properly.
■If the AC Power on the power supply still fails to light, suspect a power
supply failure. If a second (redundant) power supply is available and
functioning properly, proceed with the installation checkout.
Step 3: After the system boots successfully, verify that the front panel Normal LED
lights. If it does not light, do the following:
■Check the Normal LED on the RP. If it is lit, the system software is
functioning properly. Turn all power supplies OFF and reseat the LED
board by following steps 2 through 6 in “Installing a New LED Board.”
■If the RP Normal LED fails to light, the system software has failed to
boot properly. Toggle the power supplies OFF then ON again and
observe the behavior of the LEDs on the RP (so that you can report it to
a service representative if you need to call for technical assistance).

■If the front-panel Normal LED fails to light but the RP Normal LED
does light, suspect that the new LED board is not functioning properly.
Step 4: If after several attempts, the LED board does not appear to be functioning
properly, or if you experience trouble with the installation (for instance, if the
guide pins do not align with the holes in the board), contact a customer
service representative or refer to “Obtaining Technical Assistance” on page 2
for further instructions.
This completes the LED board replacement.
