Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are using this guide or any
other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the assembly
instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and
approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other
products/components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most
likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove power from
the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is
unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power,
telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord,
telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise,
personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper
pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle
nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or
install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide
sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled
by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper,
or you may bend or break the pins on the board.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage to your computer or the components within it. ESD can occur
without the user feeling a shock while working inside the system chassis or while improperly handling
electronic devices like processors, memory or other storage devices, and add-in cards.
Intel recommends the following steps be taken when performing any procedures described within this
document or while performing service to any computer system.
•Where available, all system integration and/or service should be performed at a properly equipped ESD
workstation
•Wear ESD protective gear like a grounded antistatic wrist strap, sole grounders, and/or conductive shoes
•Wear an anti-static smock or gown to cover any clothing that may generate an electrostatic charge
•Remove all jewelry
•Disconnect all power cables and cords attached to the server before performing any integration or
service
•Touch any unpainted metal surface of the chassis before performing any integration or service
•Hold all circuit boards and other electronic components by their edges only
•After removing electronic devices from the system or from their protective packaging, place them
component side up on to a grounded anti-static surface or conductive foam pad. Do not place electronic
devices on to the outside of any protective packaging.

Preface
About this document
This document is written for system integrators and service technicians who are responsible for system
assembly, server upgrades, server repair, and component replacement.
This document is divided into two major sections. The first half of the document provides detailed
instructions on how to install critical components to the system like memory, processor and others. It will
guide you through the installation of system components and available accessories. The second half of the
document is focused on system service. It provides many reference diagrams used to identify all key
physical features of the system. It also provides detailed instructions for the replacement of field replaceable
components.

2Essential System Component Installation and Service
Purpose
This chapter provides instructions for the installation and removal of essential system components including
processors, memory, storage devices, riser cards, and add-in cards.
Before You Begin
Before working with your server product, observe the safety and ESD precautions found in the Warnings
section at the beginning of this document.
Tools and Supplies Needed
•Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
•Phillips* (cross head) screwdriver (#1 and #2 bits)
System Reference
All references to left, right, front, top, and bottom assume the reader is facing the front of the chassis.
Instruction Format
Each procedure described in this section will follow an illustration first format. This format will give the
reader the option to follow a quicker path to system integration by first seeing an illustration of the intended
procedure. If necessary, the reader can then follow the step-by-step instructions that will accompany each
procedure.
2.1 Internal Cable Routing
All cables should be routed using the cable channels around the Server Board as shown in the following
illustration. When routing cables front-to-back, none should be routed through the center of the system or
in the area between the system fans and the DIMMs slots.
See Appendix B. System Cable Routing Diagrams for additional cable routing details.
Figure 4. Internal Cable Routing

2.2 System Cover Removal / Installation
2.2.1 System Cover Removal
The server system must be operated with the system cover in place to ensure proper cooling. The top cover
must be removed to add or replace components inside of the system. Before removing the top cover, power
down the system and unplug the power cable(s).
NOTE:A non-skid surface or a stop behind the server system may be needed to prevent the server system
from sliding on your work surface.
Figure 5. System Cover Removal
1. Remove the 240VA safety screw (see label “A”).
2. Pushing down the latches at each side, slide the cover back and lift upward (see label “B”).
2.2.2 System Cover Installation
Figure 6. System Cover Installation
1. Place the system cover onto the chassis and slide forward until the front edge of the system cover is
pressed up against the back edge of the front drive bay (see label “B”).
2. (Optional) Install the 240VA Safety Screw (see label “A”).
NOTE: Product safety regulations in some countries require that the system include a 240VA safety screw to
secure the top cover to the chassis. Use of this screw should be followed as appropriate in the country of
use. Intel recommends installing this screw before the system is shipped to the end user site.

2.3 Air Duct Removal / Installation
Always operate your server system with the air duct in place. The air duct is required for proper airflow within
the server system.
2.3.1 Air Duct Removal
Figure 7. Air Duct Removal
•Remove the air duct by lifting it straight up.
•
2.3.2 Air Duct Installation
Figure 8. Air Duct Installation
1. Position the air duct in front of the two system fans alongside each other.
2. Carefully lower into place. If placed correctly, the air duct should sit flat and securely in place.

2.4 Processor Installation / Removal
2.4.1 Processor Installation
CAUTION: Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a processor that is
inappropriate for your server. For a web link to the list of compatible processor(s), see section “Additional
Information and Software”found earlier in this document.
CAUTION:See Electrostatic Discharge precautions in the Warnings section within the opening pages
of this document.
Figure 9. Processor Installation – Open the Socket Lever
1. Remove the processor heatsink if present. See Section 2.4.3 for instructions.
2. Unlatch the CPU Load Plate
Push the lever handle (see label “A”) down and away from the CPU socket.
3. Lift open the Load Plate.
Figure 10. Processor Installation– Open the Load Plate
4. Install the Processor (CPU)
CAUTION: The pins inside the processor socket are extremely sensitive. Other than the processor, no object
should make contact with the pins inside the processor socket. A damaged processor socket pin will render
the socket inoperable, and will produce erroneous processor or other system errors if used.
NOTE: 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!
When possible, a processor insertion tool should be used when placing the processor into the processor
socket.
