Preparing For Component Installation

This section includes information and tasks that help prepare the server for component installation.

Required Equipment For Service Procedures

The following tools and equipment are used to perform the procedures in this chapter:

Maintaining the Server

Preparing For Component Installation

• T-30 Torx driver (supplied with replacement CPUs for heatsink removal)

• #1 flat-head screwdriver (supplied with replacement CPUs for heatsink removal)

• #1 Phillips-head screwdriver (for M.2 SSD and intrusion switch replacement)

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap or other grounding equipment such as a grounded mat

Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server

The server can run in either of two power modes:

• Main power mode—Power is supplied to all server components and any operating system on your drives

can run.

• Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and certain components. It is safe

for the operating system and data to remove power cords from the server in this mode.

After a server is shut down to standby power, electric current is still present in the server. To completely

remove power as directed in some service procedures, you must disconnect all power cords from all power

supplies in the server.

Caution

You can shut down the server by using the front-panel power button or the software management interfaces.

Shutting Down Using the Power Button

Step 1 Check the color of the Power button/LED:

• Amber—The server is already in standby mode and you can safely remove power.

• Green—The server is in main power mode and must be shut down before you can safely remove power.

Step 2 Invoke either a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown:

To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the

operating system.

Caution

• Graceful shutdown—Press and release the Power button. The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and

the server goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber Power button/LED.

• Emergency shutdown—Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force the main power off and immediately

enter standby mode.

Step 3 If a service procedure instructs you to completely remove power from the server, disconnect all power cords from the

power supplies in the server.

Shutting Down Using The Cisco IMC GUI

You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.

Step 3 If a service procedure instructs you to completely remove power from the server, disconnect all power cords from the

power supplies in the server.

Shutting Down Using The Cisco UCS Manager Equipment Tab

You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.

Step 1 In the Navigation pane, click Equipment.

Step 2 Expand Equipment > Rack Mounts > Servers.

Step 3 Choose the server that you want to shut down.

Step 4 In the Work pane, click the General tab.

Step 5 In the Actions area, click Shutdown Server.

Step 4 Choose the service profile of the server that you are shutting down.

Step 5 In the Work pane, click the General tab.

Step 6 In the Actions area, click Shutdown Server.

Step 7 If a confirmation dialog displays, click Yes.

The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber

Power button/LED.

Step 8 If a service procedure instructs you to completely remove power from the server, disconnect all power cords from the

power supplies in the server.

Removing the Server Top Cover

Step 1 Remove the top cover:

a) If the cover latch is locked, use a screwdriver to turn the lock 90-degrees counterclockwise to unlock it.

b) Lift on the end of the latch that has the green finger grip. The cover is pushed back to the open position as you lift

the latch.

c) Lift the top cover straight up from the server and set it aside.

Step 2 Replace the top cover:

a) With the latch in the fully open position, place the cover on top of the server about one-half inch (1.27 cm) behind

the lip of the front cover panel. The opening in the latch should fit over the peg that sticks up from the fan tray.

b) Press the cover latch down to the closed position. The cover is pushed forward to the closed position as you push

down the latch.

c) If desired, lock the latch by using a screwdriver to turn the lock 90-degrees clockwise.

Serial number label location3

Serial Number Location

The serial number for the server is printed on a label on the top of the server, near the front. See Removing

the Server Top Cover, on page 9.

Hot Swap vs Hot Plug

Some components can be removed and replaced without shutting down and removing power from the server.

This type of replacement has two varieties: hot-swap and hot-plug.

• Hot-swap replacement—You do not have to shut down the component in the software or operating

system. This applies to the following components:
