Removing and installing a server module
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
NOTE: These procedures are applicable only for full-height and half-height server modules. For
information on removing and installing quarter-height server modules from a sleeve, see the server
module's Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Removing a server module
1. If installed, remove the front bezel.
2. Turn off the server module using the operating system commands or the CMC.
When a server module is powered off, its front-panel power indicator is off.
3. Press the release button on the server module handle.
4. Pull out the server module handle to unlock the server module from the enclosure.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing a full-height server module from the enclosure,
install two half-height server module blank(s). Operating the system for an extended period
of time without server module blank installed can cause the enclosure to overheat.
5. Slide the server module out of the enclosure.
CAUTION: To protect the I/O connector pins, install the I/O connector cover any time a
server module is removed from the enclosure.
6. Install the I/O connector cover(s) over the I/O connector(s).
