Note that each of the modules has indentations for grasping them with your index finger and thumb. See Figure 8-10. Figure 8-10 Removing the Fans Step 3. To remove a SCSI cable, lift up on the fan power bridge as shown in Figure 8-11. Figure 8-11 Lifting the Fan Power Bridge Step 4.

Use a T-15 torx driver to unscrew the two power connector mounting screws and remove the power connectors from the back of the system. See Figure 8-12. Figure 8-12 Removing the Power Connectors Step 7. Disconnect the iLO Manageability card connector (orange) as shown in Figure 8-13. Figure 8-13Disconnecting the iLO Manageability Card Connector Step 8.

9 Cabling for the HP Integrity rx1620 Server This chapter describes how to connect the cables of an HP Smart Array 6402 controller card to the internal hard drives of an HP Integrity rx1620 Server. NOTE These instructions do not apply if you are connecting the controller card to an external mass storage box. Refer instead to the HP Smart Array Controller User Guide that shipped with your card. The Smart Array 6400 series of controller cards includes two models: the 6402 and the 6404.
