Standard Component Installations and Upgrades

3.1

Before You Begin

Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the safety instructions provided in this
manual. See Appendix A, “Appendix A: Safety Information

Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and
other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If
one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis
ground (any unpainted metal surface) on your server when handling parts.

3.1.1 Tools and Supplies Needed

#1 and #2 Phillips (cross-point) screwdrivers (or interchangeable tip screwdriver with #1 and #2
Phillips bits)

Personal grounding device such as an anti-static wrist strap and a grounded conductive pad

3.1.2 System References

All references to left, right, front, rear, top, and bottom assume that you are facing the front of the server,
as it would be positioned for normal operation.

3.2

General Installation Procedures

The following sections present general installation and removal procedures that are required before
removing or installing internal components that are not hot-swappable.

3.2.1 Removing the Chassis Cover

The CG1200 server must be operated with the top cover in place to ensure proper cooling. You will need
to remove the top cover to add or replace components inside the chassis that are not hot-swappable.

CAUTION: 5V standby power is present inside the chassis whenever the power supply module(s) are
connected to a power source. Before removing the top cover, always power down the server and unplug
all peripheral devices and the power cable.

A non-skid surface or a stop behind the server may be needed to prevent the server from sliding on your
work surface.

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in Appendix A, “Appendix A: Safety Information”.

2. Turn off all external devices connected to the server.

Turn off the server.

3. Disconnect the power cord(s).

Figure 9 shows the top cover and how it is removed.

Removing the Cover

1. Loosen the captive thumb screw at the front of the cover (“A”).

2. Using the blue contact points on each side of the top cover (“B”), slide the cover backwards.
