Replacing the Control Panel
Your system comes with a mini control panel installed. You can remove this and replace it
with a standard control panel or the Intel
®
Local Control Panel.
Note: If you replace the mini control panel, your system is now limited to six hard drives.
The steps for replacing the standard control panel and the Intel
®
Local Control Panel are
nearly identical. Use the steps below for both varieties of the control panel. Where
necessary, differences between the two control panels are noted.
Your server must be operated with a control panel installed.
Caution: The control panel is NOT hot swappable. Before removing or replacing the control panel,
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.
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.
3. Remove the front bezel if it is installed. For instructions, see “Removing the Front
