Page Exit Screen Table On an ACPI-compliant operating system, the Enabled default system performs an orderly shutdown before power is turned off. The button is enabled in the System Setup program. When disabled, the button can only turn on system power. Page Using The System Password Using the System Password After a system password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the system.

When the System Password option is set to Enabled, the system prompts you for the system password after the system starts. Page 47 When the Password Status option is set to Unlocked, you have the option to leave the password security enabled or to disable the password security. The system prompts you to enter and verify the password. Page 50 Using the System Setup Program See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

In Figure , the bezel and system cover are removed to provide an interior view of the system. Page Front Bezel The system board holds the system's control circuitry and other electronic components. Several hardware options, such as the microprocessors and memory, are installed directly on the system board. The expansion- card cage containing the left riser accommodates one full-length and one half-length PCIe expansion cards, while the center riser accommodates one half-length PCIe expansion card.

Mixed drive configurations are not supported. See "Installing a Drive Blank" on page Page Replacing A Hard-Drive Carrier Insert the hard-drive carrier into the drive bay until the carrier contacts the backplane.

Close the handle to lock the drive in place. Page Power Supplies Figure If only one power supply is installed, it must be installed in the left power supply bay 1.

The system is in the redundant mode when two power supplies are installed and both power supplies are connected to an AC power source. Remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.

Page Installing The Power Supply Blank Installing the Power Supply Blank To install the power supply blank, insert the tab on the right edge of the blank into the slot in the power supply bay wall.

Rotate the blank into the power supply bay and secure with the Phillips screw. System Fans The system includes four hot-pluggable cooling fans. Removing and Installing a Cooling Fan fan bracket fan handle Replacing a Cooling Fan 1 Ensure that the fan handle is upright and lower the fan into its fan bracket until the fan is fully seated. Then lower the fan handle until it snaps into place.

Page 66 Figure If you plan to boot the system from a hard drive, the drive must be attached to the primary or boot controller. The half-height center riser board features one PCIe x8-lane expansion slot. The three expansion card slots are on separate buses.

Removing and Installing an Internal Tape Drive tape drive rails 2 tape drive rail release tabs 2 screws 4 8 Route the tape drive's interface cable through the tape drive cable retention bracket. Page 90 To remove the tape drive cable retention bracket, gently draw the blue release latch toward the center of the system while sliding the cable retention bracket toward the front of the system and disengaging the bracket from the chassis wall.

To replace the bracket, align the bracket clips with their slots on the chassis wall, then slide the bracket toward the back of the system until all the clips and the blue release latch are fully engaged. The memory sockets are located on the system board under the cooling shroud and are split into two separate groups of four sockets each. Page Memory Sparing Support Table Page 93 When enabled, memory sparing allocates and reserves ranks of memory from the installed DIMMs to act as spare memory in the event of a memory channel failure.

Memory sparing allocates only the first rank of memory of a DIMM. Page Removing Memory Modules 6 Align the memory module's edge connector with the alignment key on the memory module socket, and insert the memory module in the socket. NOTE: The memory module socket has two alignment keys that allows you to install the memory module in the socket in only one way. Page 97 Figure Installing and Removing the Heat Sink heat sink heat-sink retention screws 2 6 Wait 30 seconds for the heat sink to loosen from the processor.

NOTE: Lay the heat sink on its side to avoid contaminating the thermal adhesive on the bottom of the heat sink. Page Installing A Processor Figure Installing and Removing a Processor notch in processor 2 processor ZIF socket shield socket-release lever ZIF socket processor shield socket key 2 11 Lift the processor out of the socket and leave the release lever up so that the socket is ready for the new processor.

Page 99 4 Install the processor in the socket. NOTICE: Positioning the processor incorrectly can permanently damage the system board or the processor when you turn it on. When placing the processor in the socket, be careful not to bend the pins in the socket.

Avoid touching the socket pins or the pads on the processor when handling the processor or the system board. Page Figure Replacing the System Battery positive side of battery system battery negative side of battery connector connector NOTICE: To avoid damage to the battery connector, you must firmly support the connector while installing or removing a battery.

Support the battery connector by pressing down firmly on the positive side of the connector.

The system also features redundant memory, which provides memory sparing or memory mirroring. Either feature is available if eight identical memory modules are installed. The internal channel supports up to eight 2. See support. Maximum resolution is x with 64 K colors; true-color graphics are supported in the following resolutions: x , x , x , x , and x When the optional RAC is installed, the video resolution is X The systems management circuitry works in conjunction with the systems management software.

For more information about specific features, see "Technical Specifications" on page Warranty information may be included within this document or as a separate document. This document may be found on the CDs that came with your system, or on support. This service may not be offered in all locations. Once you have read the "Safety Instructions" located in the rack installation documentation for your system, install the rails and the system in the rack.

See your rack installation documentation for instructions on installing your system in a rack. The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws if any on the monitor's cable connector. Instead, connect the monitor cable to the connector on the expansion card. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply UPS or a power distribution unit PDU.

Attach the power cord retention bracket on the right bend of the power supply handle. Repeat the procedure for the second power supply. Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply UPS or a power distribution unit PDU. Press the power button on the system and the monitor. The power indicators should light. Adjust the monitor's controls until the displayed image is satisfactory.

If you purchased a preinstalled operating system, see the operating system documentation that ships with your system. To install an operating system for the first time, see the Quick Installation Guide.

Be sure the operating system is installed before installing hardware or software not purchased with the system. NOTE: Always check for updates on support. Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later. Installing the Rails and System in a Rack Once you have read the "Safety Instructions" located in the rack installation documentation for your system, install the rails and the system in the rack.

The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws if any on the monitor's cable connector.
