3 System upgrade 26 Pre-installation instructions Perform the steps below before you open the server or before you remove or replace any component. W arning! Failure to properly turn off the server befor e you start perform any hardwar e configuration may cause serious damage and bodily harm.
27 Opening the server Caution: Before you proceed, make su re that you have turned off the system and all peripheral s connected to it. Read the " Pre-installation instructions " section page 26. Y ou need to open the server before you can install upgrade components.
3 System upgrade 28 (3) Slide the side panel toward the rear of the chassis to detach it. Removing the fr ont bezels 1 Remove the side panel. 2 Remove the front bezels. There are two front bezels protecti ng the 5.25-inch drive bays and the HDD bay . Remove the top bezel first.
29 Configuring a 5-25 inch storage device The three 5.25-inch device bays suppo rt a variety of storage devices for additional storage capacity and scalab ility . Go to page 5 for a list of supported storage devices. By default, the system ships with a DVD-ROM drive installed on the topmost device bay .
3 System upgrade 30 4 Use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the dummy bezel off the device bay where you intend to inst all the new storage device. Keep this dummy bezel for future reinstallation. 5 Install the new 5.25-inch storage device. (1) Move and hold the DVD drive release slider of the unlock position .
31 Configuring a har d drive The Altos G330 HDD cage bay accommodates both hot-plug and easy-swap HDD cage models. The ma in difference between these two cage models is the presence of a backplane board on the rear side of the hot-plug HDD cage. Both cage mo dels support up to four SA T A II or SAS hard disk drives.
3 System upgrade 32 T o remove an easy-swap hard drive: 1 Remove the side panel from the chassis. Go to page 27 for instructions. 2 Disconnect the data and power cables from their HDD connectors. The figure below shows the cable connections for a SAS HDD connected to an optional SAS/SAS RAID expansion card.
33 T o install a hot-plug hard drive: 1 If necessary , unlock the HDD bay bezel, then pull it open. 2 Pull out the dummy HDD carrier from the cage. 3 Prepare the new blank HDD carrier for installation. (1) Remove the four screws that secures the blank frame.
3 System upgrade 34 4 Align the new hard disk with the HDD carrier , then secure it with the four screws you removed in step 3-1. 5 Install the new hard drive into the cage.
35 Upgrading the pr ocessor Altos G330 has one LGA775 processor socket that supports a variety of Intel processor models. Refer to page 3 to for a list of these supported processor options. This section explains the procedur es for removing and installing the processor and heat sink-fan.
3 System upgrade 36 4 Remove the HSF from the chassis. The HSF type will depend on the default processor model. The figures below show the HSF type s available for the Altos G330 system. (1) Disconnect the processor HSF cable from its mainboard connector .
