Step 1. Unscrew the two thumbscrews from the back of the system
(Fig-1).
Step 2. Standing at the front of the system. Gently apply force to the
indentures with your thumbs and push toward the rear of the chassis for
about 3/4 of an inch. Top cover may be lifted straight up (Fig-2).
Figure1 Figure2
Step 3. After removing the top cover, you will see a plastic air duct over
the CPU and Memory. Remove the air duct to install the CPU and
Memory (Fig-3).

GS SR103 provides one expansion raiser slot for a peripheral card,
64Bit/66 MHz full length. To install the peripheral, please go through the
following steps.
Step 1. There are two screws holding the raiser bracket. First, remove
the screw on the top of the bracket, then, remove another screws
located at the rear of the server. (Fig-8) (Fig-9).
Figure8 Figure9

Step 3. Install the card into place. Secure the card with screw. Make
sure it is seated properly into PCI slot. (Fig-11)
Step 4. Replace the raiser bracket into the PCI slot on the
motherboard (Fig-12).
Figure12 Figure13
Step 5. The card is seated properly into PCI slot. (Fig-13)
4.6. Airflow Duct Installation
GS-SR103 is installed a new device which called Airflow Duct. The
main function of Airflow duct is the capability of driving out excessive
system heat (Especially the CPU Heat). In order to maintain the system
operation smoothly, please note that CPU and RAM have been installed.
Remember to apply the airflow duct back onto the system to ensure the
consistency of system operation. To install the airflow duct properly,
please take the following steps:

GS-SR103 is installed a new device which called Airflow Duct. The
main function of Airflow duct is to raise the capability of driving out
excessive system heat (Especially the CPU Heat). In order to maintain
the system operation smoothly, please note that CPU and RAM are
installed in advance. Remember to install the airflow duct back into the
system to ensure the consistency of system operation. To install the
airflow duct properly, please take the following steps:
Step 1. Please insert the Airflow Duct follow the arrow direction (Fig-14)
Figure 14
Step 2. After smoothly insert the Airflow Duct, please pay attention to
the stable clip circle on Fig-15. Ensure the airflow duct is firmly inserted
in the Airflow Stable Rack.
Figure15 Figure16
Step 3. Fig-16 indicates Airflow Duct should be flat and completely
inserted into the system. When the upper case is placed, please be
aware that the Power Supply header and the motherboard should be
completely inserted in the duct cover. Otherwise the upper case might

not be able to close tightly.
Attention: There are pressures from both front and back end;
therefore the slight pop up at middle is nature.
4.7. Reinstall Top Cover
When complete the installation of the entire essential components (from
subsection 4.1 to 4.6), replace the plastic air duct. This will secure the
airflow is inside the chassis. Failure to do so may cause CPU and
Memory over heat.
Figure 17
Replace the top cover, insuring that the thumbscrews are tightened.
(Fig-17)
4.8. Dock Handles Installation
Remove the dock handles from the package. Put two on each side of
the chassis, secure with screws provided (Fig-18).
