Applicable to: World-Wide

Option Installation

Before you begin - Be sure your current server configuration is working properly. - Locate the key to the cover lock, if any. - Obtain a small, flat-blade screwdriver. - Read Safety Information. - If you are preparing a rack model, you might want to install it in the rack first before installing options. See Installing a Server in a Rack Enclosure for instructions on installing your rack model.

1. Unlock and open the server door, if any. For convenience during these procedures, you might prefer to remove the door completely.
a. Locate the flange on the top edge of the front door, near the hinge.
b. Press the flange downward while pressing out on the door; then, lift the door off the hinge. Set the door aside.

Caution When unlocked, the server door will not support the weight of the server. To avoid personal injury, be sure to remove or lock the server door before moving or lifting the server.

2. Remove any media (diskettes or CDs) from the drives, and then turn off all attached devices and the server.

3. If you have a tower model, continue with Preparing a Tower Model. If you have a rack model installed in a rack enclosure, go to Preparing a Rack Model.

Preparing a Tower Model: The hard disk drives in Netfinity 5000 are hot-swappable. If you are installing only a hard disk drive (bays 1 through 5), go directly to Internal Drives Installation or Removing. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
1. If you have a modem or fax machine attached to the server, disconnect the telephone line from the wall outlet and the server.

Note If you are in the United Kingdom, you must perform this step before disconnecting the power cord.

Caution The Power-on switch on the front of the server does not turn off the electrical current supplied to the server. The server also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the server, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

2. Unplug all power cords (cables) from electrical outlets, and then disconnect all other cables from the back of the server.

3. Open the server door, if you have not already done so.

4. Remove the left-side cover.
a. Locate the cover-release lever on the front of the server and slide it to the right.



b. Slide the left-side cover back about 25 mm (1 inch); then, lift the cover and remove it.
c. Store the cover in a safe place.

5. If you are installing or removing a drive in bays A to C, remove the front bezel.
a. Locate the blue bezel release lever on the left side of the server in the top front corner.

b. Move the lever upward following the curve of the lever opening.
c. Lift the bezel tabs out of the slots at the bottom and pull the bezel out from the server front.

6. Install (or remove) the desired options. (Adapters, Memory modules, Internal Drives Installation or Removing, Microprocessors, Power Supplies, External Options, or Security.)
