1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals. 2. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the com- puter, before touching anything inside your computer. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the com- puter chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components. 3. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer. Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock. In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate: ‡ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are dis- connecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bend- ing any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned. ‡ Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or con- tacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins. 5HPRYLQJWKH6\VWHP%RDUG Removing the system board of a PowerEdge 4300 system involves the following activities: ‡ Disconnecting power ‡ Removing expansion cards ‡ Removing the covers ‡ Removing the system board tray ‡ Removing the system board 'LVFRQQHFWLQJ3RZHU To disconnect power from a PowerEdge 4300 system, perform the following steps : 1. Disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and then disconnect the other end of the cable from the power supply.

Repeat steps 1 through 3 to remove the remaining power supplies. 5HPRYLQJWKH([SDQVLRQ&DUGV To remove the expansion cards, perform the following steps: 1. Open the expansion-card access door (see Figure 2). Record the location of each expansion card so that each card is installed into the same slot on the new system board. 2. Disconnect any cables attached to the expansion cards. Be sure to record the location of each cable before you disconnect it. &$87,21'RQRWXVHDWRROWRIRUFHWKHODWFKRSHQ power supply handle power supply latch   locking bar

3. For each card you are removing, press in and hold the clip on the back of the com- puter. At the same time, from inside the computer, press the curved release lever in the middle of the expansion-card latch toward the bottom of the card. After the release lever clicks into the latch cutout, rotate the latch away from the expansion-card bracket. )LJXUH([SDQVLRQ&DUG5HPRYDO 4. Release the inner end of the expansion card by pressing outward on the latch at the inner corner of the card. 5.

5HPRYLQJWKH6\VWHP%RDUG7UD\ To remove the system board tray, perform the following steps: 1. Disconnect all cables from the system board. When disconnecting the power cables from the system board, press the plastic latch on one side of the connector to release it. 2. Release the tray latch at the lower-back corner of the system board tray (see Fig- ure 4) and pull the tray open to the service position. Then depress the latch again and pull the tray out of the chassis. )LJXUH6\VWHP%RDUG7UD\5HPRYDO system board tray tray latch

7 5HPRYLQJWKH6\VWHP%RDUG To remove the system board from the system board tray, perform the following steps: 1. Loosen the thumbscrew securing the system board to the tray (see Figure 5). 2. Slide the system board to the left as shown in Figure 5 (toward the inner expan- sion-card guide brackets) about a centimeter (half an inch) to clear the chassis hooks, and remove the board. )LJXUH6\VWHP%RDUG5HPRYDO 3. Remove the DIMMs, SEC cartridge and heat sink assembly, and terminator card, and set them aside for installation on the new system board. Verify that all the jumper settings on the new system board are identical to those on the original board. thumbscrew inner card-guide brackets

,QVWDOOLQJWKH6\VWHP %RDUG To install the new system board (see Figure 6) on the supporting subchassis, perform the following steps: 1.

3. Install all expansion cards in the same slots on the new system board (use the notes you made when you removed the cards from the original system board). 4. Install any internal panels, shrouds, or brackets. 5. Install the computer cover. 6. Install the power supplies: a. Slide the power supply almost all the way into its bay, allowing it to extend out about a half centimeter (a quarter of an inch). b. Rotate the handle back toward the power supply while fitting the two legs of the handle into the cutouts in the chassis wall, while at the same time press- ing the power supply the rest of the way into the bay. c. Push the locking bar to the right (or down if the system is in rack-mount posi- tion) until the latch snaps into place, securing the power supply. NOTE: The power supply will not operate unless the handle is snapped all the way into the securing position. 7. After starting up the system, run the Asset Tag utility. The Asset Tag utility allows you to enter a unique asset tag number for the new system board that you or your organization assign to the system. For information on running this utility, refer to your system User’s Guide. 8. Compare the system configuration information with the copy of the system con- figuration settings you made in “Before You Begin,” found earlier in this guide. Restore the system configuration information to the settings for the original board. 9. If you are using a padlock to secure your system, reinstall the padlock. NOTE: After removing and replacing the system board, the chassis intrusion detector will cause the following message to be displayed at the next system start-up: ALERT! Cover was previously removed. 10. Reset the chassis intrusion detector by entering the System Setup program and setting Chassis Intrusion to Not Detected. See “Using the System Setup Pro- gram,” in your system User's Guide for instructions. NOTE: If a setup password has been assigned by someone else, contact your network administrator for information on resetting the chassis intrusion detector.
