By providing easy access to server components, the ProLiant 7000 design further reduces the
downtime associated with upgrades and field maintenance.
The processor board, memory boards, and the I/O board are mounted using lever-actuated quick-
release modules that allow tool-less replacement.
In addition, the processor and I/O boards are
separated in the chassis so that each can be replaced independently (Figure 14).
The I/O board is located in the top of the chassis to allow easy access for adding or replacing I/O
boards.
This is an important convenience for using the hot-plug slots.
The internal drive cages are separated into three units.
Each drive cage unit can be removed by
sliding it out from the front of the server.
This allows easy replacement of hot-plug drives as the
customer upgrades to next-generation drive technology.
