Preparing a Tower Model



Preparing a Tower Model:

The hard disk drives in Netfinity 5000 are hot-swappable.
If you are installing only a hard disk drive (bays 1 through 5), go directly to 'Internal Drives Installation or Removing'.
Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
  1.  If you have a modem or fax machine attached to the server, disconnect the telephone line from the wall  outlet and the server.

    NOTE: If you are in the United Kingdom, you must perform this step before disconnecting the power  cord.

      The Power-on switch on the front of the server does not turn off the electrical current supplied to  the server. The server also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the server, ensure that all power  cords are disconnected from the power source.

  2.  Unplug all power cords (cables) from electrical outlets, and then disconnect all other cables from the  back of the server.
  3.  Open the server door, if you have not already done so.
  4.  Remove the left-side cover.

    1.  Locate the cover-release lever on the front of the server and slide it to the right.
       
    2.  Slide the left-side cover back about 25 mm (1-inch), then, lift the cover and remove it.
    3.  Store the cover in a safe place.

  5.  If you are installing or removing a drive in bays A to C, remove the front bezel.

    1.  Locate the blue bezel release lever on the left side of the server in the top front corner.
       
    2.  Move the lever upward following the curve of the lever opening.
    3.  Lift the bezel tabs out of the slots at the bottom and pull the bezel out from the server front.

  6.  Install (or remove) the desired options.
