• SAS/SATA control module or hardware RAID module if either is installed
• All cables connected to the PDB or components that have to be removed to access it:

-- HDD power cable

-- SAS/SATA control module or SAS/SATA hardware RAID module flex circuit cable

CAUTION: Before replacing any of the boards on the CG2100 server, you must first take

the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the
server, turn off the server by pressing the power button, and unplug the power
cord(s) from the system and wall outlet.

When handling the power distribution board, observe the normal safety and ESD
precautions. See Appendix A: Safety Information for more information.

Removing the Old Power Distribution Board

1.

Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the power cable(s).

2.

Remove both of the chassis covers. For instructions, see “Removing the Chassis

Covers” in Section 3.2.

3.

Remove the riser card assembly. For instructions, see “Removing the Riser Card

Assembly” in Section 3.2.

4.

Remove the black plastic riser card assembly/bridge board guide bracket by

loosening the two screws that secure it to the chassis base. See Figure 57 for the
location of this bracket and the screws that attach it.

5.

Slide the power supply module(s) out a few inches to disengage it from the PDB.

Remove the SAS/SATA control module or SAS/SATA hardware RAID module, if installed.

See Section 4.3, “Installing a SAS/SATA Control Module” or Section 4.4, “Installing
a Hardware RAID Module” for help with how these modules are fastened.

need to be touched when replacing the PDB; only the sheet metal cover, the module
itself, and the flex cable connection on the SAS/SATA module side.

Remove the black plastic cover that shields the PDB.

There are two screws that fasten this cover below where the SAS/SATA modules are
installed. (Figure 64, “A”)

installing the new board. (“C”)
