Working Inside the Server
This chapter provides information about peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
expansion cards, memory, internal storage devices, and the computer’s battery. The chapter
also explains how to install these items.
Installation involves three procedures (detailed steps for each are provided later in this
chapter):
m opening the server
m inserting the device into a slot or open position on the drive carrier
m closing the server
Warning Always turn off the computer before opening it to avoid damaging any of its
internal components.
Warning Apple Computer recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician
install memory, PCI expansion cards, and internal storage devices. Consult the service and
support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an
Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for service. If you install these items yourself,
you risk damaging your equipment, and such damage is not covered by the limited
warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider for
additional information about this or any other warranty question.
Warning The power supply in your computer is a high-voltage component and should
not be opened for any reason, even when the computer is off. If the power supply needs
service, contact your Apple-authorized dealer or service provider. To protect the power
supply from damage, make sure the voltage switch on the back of the computer is set
correctly before you plug the computer into a power outlet. See Chapter 1 for
instructions on setting the voltage switch.
