Xserve back into the rack, and tighten the front thumbscrews to secure the Xserve in the rack. If the server case was locked, use the enclosure key to lock the security lock on the front panel.
The Xserve Late has 8 memory slots. You can purchase Apple-approved memory online from the Apple Store at www. The first pair is installed in slots 1 and 2. Install the next pair in slots 3 and 4. If you can, after you fill slots 1 through 4, add a full set of four DIMMs in slots 5 through 8 instead of just a pair in slots 5 and 6.
Before you begin, open the Xserve and place the bottom housing on a sturdy, flat surface. Push down the ejectors on the DIMM slot. Do not touch its connectors. Lift the DIMM straight up from the connector to remove it, and insert it straight down into the connector to install it. Do not rock the DIMM from side to side. Be sure to align the notch in the DIMM with the small rib inside the slot. This Xserve model uses two types of PCI riser cards to accommodate expansion card installation:.
Important: Be sure the Xserve is turned off and unplugged before you install or remove an expansion card or riser. Loosen the two captive screws that secure the riser bracket to the back panel.
Carefully pull up on the bracket and riser, to disconnect the riser from the logic board. If you are removing a blank riser card so that you can install a graphics card in the riser, do the following:.
If you are removing a riser card so that you can replace it with a new riser card, remove any expansion card installed in the original riser card and transfer the card to the replacement riser.
To install a card, you first insert it into a matching riser, and then install the riser into the slot. The type of card you can install depends on the riser you use:. Carefully pull up on the bracket and riser, with the expansion card still attached, to disconnect the riser from the logic board. Tilt the expansion card up so that its port clears the enclosure, and remove the card from the Xserve.
Remove the screw that secures the expansion card to the riser, and separate the card and riser by gently pulling them apart. Do not touch its connectors or any of the components on the card. Lift the card straight out from the connector to remove it, and insert it straight into the connector to install it.
Once the replacement card is installed, pull on it gently to check that it is properly connected. Seat the expansion card in the riser slot and replace the screw to secure the card in the riser.
Align the riser with the slot on the logic board and press to seat the card. Tighten the captive screws that secure the riser bracket to the back panel. Return the Xserve to the rack and start it up. The Xserve Late uses a CR Lithium coin cell battery to preserve settings such as the date and time when the system is not connected to power. If the date and time change unexpectedly or other system settings are lost, you might need to replace the battery.
You may, however, find a small plastic pry tool useful in prying up the battery in step 1 below. Remove the left riser card and any installed expansion card in slot 1 if it blocks access to the battery holder. Remove the old battery from the holder. Note: You may first need to carefully spread the two tabs on the holder slightly apart to release the battery. Warning: To avoid risk of explosion, replace battery only with type CR The negative — side faces away from the power supply.
Close the Xserve and return it to the rack. The Xserve Early uses a CR Lithium coin cell battery to preserve settings such as the date and time when the system is not connected to power. You may, however, find a small plastic pry tool useful in prying up the battery. Note: You can insert a plastic pry tool under the battery to ease the grip between the spring and the holder.
Then slide out the battery. Note: Although some of the illustrations for this procedure are based on Xserve G5, the procedure is the same for Xserve Late and Xserve Early Disconnect the optical drive cable from the optical drive. Rotate the optical drive clip clockwise to release it. Placing your thumbs on the tab on either side of the drive, carefully slide the drive back from the front bezel.
Important: When removing or replacing the optical drive, be careful not to put pressure on the top of the drive or the top of the front bezel that covers the optical drive slot. LIft the drive out of the server. Replacement Note: Before installing the replacement drive, you must transfer the side brackets and the screws from the original drive to the replacement drive. Remove the mounting screw for the left bracket and transfer the bracket to the new drive, using the same screw to secure it.
Remove the three mounting screws for the right bracket and transfer the bracket to the new drive, again using the same screws to secure it. Loosen the five Phillips screws that fasten the airflow duct to the fan array. Pull up on either side of the airflow duct, and lift it straight up and out of the Xserve. Caution: Try not to completely remove the screws from the airflow duct.
Tiny black rubber washers hold these screws captive on the underside of the airflow duct. If the screws are completely removed, these rubber washers can easily fall into the enclosure and become lost. Do not overtighen the screws. You may, however, find a Phillips screwdriver useful in releasing the thumbscrews in step 1 below.
Loosen the two thumbscrews that secure the fan array to the enclosure. Note: The thumbscrews are captive; you cannot remove them. Lift the fan array to remove it from the Xserve. Note: You may need to move the front panel cable slightly out of the way of the fan array power connector during removal or replacement. Be careful not to pinch the front panel board cable between the fan array and any other surface inside.
Replacement Note: Push down on the fan array power connector to seat it when installing the fan array. If you feel some resistance from the power connector during removal, carefully rotate the fan array as shown to disconnect it from the power distribution board.
Then lift the fan array out of the computer. Replacement Note: When installing the fan array, make sure a foam strip is included, as shown below. Release the locking levers on the cable connectors and disconnect the front panel board cable from the front panel board and the logic board. Remove the cable from the Xserve. Disconnect the backplane-to-logic board cable from the logic board.
Disconnect the backplane-to-logic board cable from the drive interconnect backplane and remove the cable from the Xserve. Replacement Note: Before installing the cable, fold it to a degree angle along its creases. Replacement Note: Connect the cable to the logic board first.
Then press the adhesive section of the cable onto the enclosure before connecting the other end of the cable to the backplane. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration. Log In Sign Up. Forgot password? Enter your email address and check your inbox.
