How to Install the CPU Module (CMOD) Cover

Before You Begin

About Sun Server X2-8 CPU Modules and CMOD Filler Modules

  1. Set the cover on top of the CMOD with the cover release button toward the front of the module and with approximately 0.5 inch of the cover overhanging the rear of the module.

    This leaves a gap of approximately 0.5 inch between lead edge of the cover and front top edge of the CMOD chassis. The cover should sit evenly on top of the module.

  2. Slide the cover toward the front of the module until it stops, taking care that the lead edge of the cover slides under the front top edge of the CMOD.

    When the cover is properly installed, this action produces a click sound as the cover latch engages and locks the cover.

  3. Ensure that the cover is locked in place.

    The cover should not move unless the release button is pressed.
