6. Install the server system cover. For instructions, see "Installing the Server System Cover". Replacing a Fixed Fan Caution: The system fans are NOT hot swappable. Before removing or replacing a fan, you must first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system, turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the system or wall outlet. Note: The fans that are integrated into the power supply cannot be replaced separately. If one of the fans in the power supply fails, the power supply must be replaced. The system fans at the front of the server system can be individually replaced if one of them fails. Use the steps below to replace a fan. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See "Safety Information". 2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable(s). 3. Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see "Removing the System Cover". 4. Remove the fan module assembly. For instructions, see "Replacing a Fan Module". 5. There are no screws to loosen. Remove the fan from the fan module (see letter "A" in the figure below). 3 2 1 A Figure 87. Removing a Fan from the Fixed Fan Module 6. Position the replacement fan so the connector on the fan is at the right and pointing down. 7. With the fan oriented correctly, insert the fan into the fan module (see letter "A" in the figure below), and snap in place. Intel® Server System SR2500AL User's Guide 97

Tools and Supplies Needed	47
System References	47
Removing and Installing from a Rack	47
Note: Follow all safety guidelines while removing a system from a rack to avoid injury.	47
Fixed Bracket Rack Mount Removal	47
1. Disconnect all cables from the back of the system.	47
Note: Remember to use the system LED to properly identify the system you are servicing.	47
2. Remove screws from the brackets and remove the system from the rack.	47
Fixed Bracket Rack Mount Installation	48
1. Fully extend a rail assembly; the finger tab for the extension lock is revealed.	48
2. Press the finger tab and slide the inside rail from the middle rail until it completely separates.	48
Note: The middle rail and outer rail cannot be separated.	48
3. Position an inside rail along one side of the chassis with the finger tab facing outward and located closer to the rear of the chassis.	48
4. Align the holes in the rail with the tabs on the chassis and place the rail against the chassis.	48
5. Slide the rail as far as it will go toward the front of the chassis to engage the tabs.	48
6. Fasten the rail to the chassis using one screw at the front of the chassis.	48
7. In the same manner, attach the other inside rail to the other side of the chassis	48
8. Using two screws, attach one nut bar to the inside of the rack post. Do not completely tighten the screws; leave them loose enough to allow insertion of the brackets in the next step.	48
9. Insert the slotted foot of a rail bracket between each nut bar and post.	48
10. Align the face of the bracket foot with the inside edge of the rack post and firmly tighten the screws.	48
11. Repeat steps 8 to 10 above to install the other 3 brackets (2 front & 2 back). Ensure all brackets are at the same height on the rack.	48
12. Position a rail assembly (middle and outer rails) with its black plastic end caps toward the rear of the rack and its outer rail closest to the brackets.	48
13. Align the front screw hole in the outer rail with the threaded hole nearest the front of the front bracket and fit the rail assembly into the front and rear brackets.	48
14. Slide the middle rail toward the front until the access hole in the middle rail is aligned with the front screw hole in the outer rail.	48
15. Insert screw through the access hole and loosely attach the outer rail to the front bracket.	48
16. In a similar manner to steps 13 through 15, install a screw through a slot in the outer rail and into the rear-most threaded hole in the front bracket. Firmly tighten this screw.	48
17. Firmly tighten the front screw installed loosely in step 15.	48
18. In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.	48
19. Slide the middle rail toward the front until the rear bracket area is accessible.	48
20. Attach the rear end of the outer rail to the rear bracket with at least one screw. If possible, attach at two places.	48
21. In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.	48
22. Fully extend the left and right rails until the extension locks have engaged and the rails will not push back in. The rail system is now ready to receive the chassis.	49
Caution: Lifting and placing the chassis in the rails is a two-person job. If needed, use an appropriate lifting device.	49
23. With the chassis front facing you, lift the chassis and carefully insert the rails attached to the chassis in the extended rails.	49
24. Slide the chassis toward the rear of the cabinet until the rails lock together.	49
25. Depress and hold down the finger tabs on both extension locks while sliding the chassis toward the rear.	49
26. Slide the chassis all the way into the rack until the chassis handles are against the front posts.	49
Basic Rail Rack Mount Removal	49
1. Disconnect all cables from the back of the system.	49
Note: Remember to use the system LED to properly identify the system you are servicing.	49
2. Pull system from rack until brackets are fully extended.	49
3. Push in both clips on the brackets and slide the system forward until the inner rail separates from the outer rail.	49
4. Remove and service the system.	49
Basic Rail Rack Mount Installation	49
1. Extend the inner rail until it locks.	49
2. Depress the spring safety lock to release the inner rail.	49
3. Remove the inner rail from the rail assembly.	49
4. Attach the outer rail slides to the rack posts using two #10-32 x 1/2 screws at the front posts, and two #10-32 x 1/2 screws at the rear posts.	49
Note: The rail flanges mount to the inside of each post.	49
5. Insert the inner rails over the server chassis sidewall studs.	49
6. Slide the inner rails toward the front of the server chassis.	49
7. Secure the inner rails with one #6-32 x 1/4 screw for each rail.	49
8. Align the inner rails (attached to the server chassis) with the outer rail assemblies (attached to the rack).	49
9. Engage the matching rails and slide the server chassis into the rack until the two safety stops lock into position.	49
10. Depress the two safety locks (one on each side).	49
11. Slide the server chassis all the way into the rack.	50
12. Use the rack screws (#10-32 x 3/4) to secure the chassis and rack handles into the rack.	50
Tool-less Rail Rack Mount Servicing	50
1. To service the system, pull the system out from the rack.	50
2. Disconnect the power cable(s) and proceed with servicing the system.	50
3. When the servicing is completed, re-connect the power cable(s).	50
4. Pull up on the green tabs on each rail and slide the system back into the rack.	50
Note: Beware of cables when re-installing the system into the rack so that the cables do not get pulled or interfered with.	50

Replacing a Fixed Fan

Caution:

The system fans are NOT hot swappable. Before removing or replacing a fan, you must

first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system,

turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the

system or wall outlet.

Note:

The fans that are integrated into the power supply cannot be replaced separately. If one of

the fans in the power supply fails, the power supply must be replaced.

The system fans at the front of the server system can be individually replaced if one of

them fails. Use the steps below to replace a fan.

Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See

“Safety

Information”

Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power

cable(s).

Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see

“Removing the System

Cover”

Remove the fan module assembly. For instructions, see

“Replacing a Fan Module”

There are no screws to loosen. Remove the fan from the fan module (see letter “A”

in the figure below).

Figure 87. Removing a Fan from the Fixed Fan Module

Position the replacement fan so the connector on the fan is at the right and pointing

down.

With the fan oriented correctly, insert the fan into the fan module (see letter “A” in

the figure below), and snap in place.
