Replacement Instructions

Follow the instructions in this document carefully. Failure to follow these instructions could
damage your equipment and void its warranty.
Online instructions are available at http://www.apple.com/support/diy/.

Working Safely Inside the Xserve
Always touch the Xserve enclosure to discharge static electricity before you touch any
components inside the Xserve. To avoid generating static electricity, do not walk around the
room until you have finished working inside the server and have replaced the cover. To minimize
the possibility of damage due to static discharge, wear an antistatic wrist strap while you work
inside the Xserve.
Warning: Always shut down the Xserve and disconnect the power cords before opening
it to avoid damaging its internal components or the components you are installing. Don’t
open the server while it is turned on. Even after you shut down the Xserve, its internal
components can be very hot. Let it cool before you open it.

Tools Required
No tools are required for this procedure. You may, however, find a small flatblade screwdriver
useful in releasing the cable connector.

Removing the Xserve from a Rack
1.

Alert users that the server will be unavailable for a period of time.

2.

Shut down the Xserve (see the Xserve User’s Guide for help) and then wait to let the Xserve
internal components cool.
Warning: Always shut down the Xserve before opening it to avoid damaging its internal
components or the components you want to install or remove. Don’t open the Xserve
or try to install or remove items inside while it is turned on. Even after you shut down
the Xserve, its internal components can be very hot. Let it cool down for 5 to 10 minutes
before you open it.
