Chapter Three Upgrading

Installing or Removing Jumpers:

A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor

that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can

grip with your fingertips, forceps or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your

jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove

or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide

sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing

intermittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip

with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you

may bend or break the stake pins on the board.

Caution

Installing the Server Board

The Server Board can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always requires careful

handling. After removing it from the chassis, place it component side up on a

nonconductive, static free surface to prevent shorting out the battery leads. If you

place the Server Board on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If

they do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery. Do NOT

slide the Server Board over any surface.

Caution

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions outlined at the beginning of this

chapter.

2. Insert screws through the mounting holes and into the threaded standoffs.

Make sure the board is properly seated, and then tighten all the screws

firmly.

3. Connect all internal cables to the server board.

The floppy cable has been modified to support all floppy drives. The floppy drive

connector on the cable (see connector label) is not keyed. Care should be taken to

match pin 1 of the cable, indicated with a red stripe on the cable, with pin 1 of the

floppy drive.

Note

4. Reinstall add-in boards.

5. Connect all internal cables to add-in boards. Make sure you connect the

power cables to the correct power connectors.

6. Connect all peripheral device cables to the I/O panel on the rear of the

server.

7. Run the SSU to configure the server.
