Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.

Depending on your system configuration, disconnect the following power
cables:
• P1 and P2 to the system board
• P3 and P5 to the SATA or SAS drives
• P7 to the diskette drive
• P8, P9, and P10 to the optical and tape drives
NOTE: Note the routing of the DC power cables underneath the tabs in the
system frame as you release the tabs and remove the cables from the system
board and drives. You must route these cables properly when you replace
them to prevent their being pinched or crimped.

holding the heat sink and shroud assembly in place.
These captive screws are adjacent to the processor cooling fan housing. See
Figure 3-21.
