Removing and Replacing the I/O Voltage Regulator Module
The I/O voltage regulator module (I/O VRM) is a stand alone component located on the I/O board
assembly that regulates voltage for I/O operations.
WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected
from the server prior to performing this procedure.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Removing the I/O VRM
To remove the I/O VRM, follow these steps:
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server”
(page 95) .
2. If rack installed, slide the server completely out from the rack. See “Extending the Server
from the Rack” (page 180) .
3. Remove the top cover. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 181) .
4. Remove the I/O VRM cover ( Figure 6-27 ).
a. Locate the knurled thumb screw on top of the I/O VRM cover and turn it
counterclockwise until the cover disengages from the chassis wall.
b. Lift the cover off the I/O VRM.
5. Push the extraction levers found on either side of the I/O VRM slot outward to the open
position to release the I/O VRM from the socket.
6. Grasp the I/O VRM by the edges and lift it out of the chassis ( Figure 6-27 ).
