Before You Begin
Review the following topics:
The AC power connectors are retained by a wire latch. Lift the retaining latch and pull the connector out of its socket (see AC Power Block Overview).
Partially remove the power supplies. This action ensures that the power supplies are disconnected from the midplane connectors.
CMODs and CPU filler modules must be returned to their original slots. For CMOD slot designations, see CPU Module (CMOD) Designations.
Note - Do not disconnect the cables from the hard drive backplane.
Note - Do not disconnect the cables at the hard drive backplane.
If you are not replacing the SAM, removal of this component is optional but recommended.
