Installing a Server Module
NOTICE:
Follow this procedure carefully—it is possible to insert the server module upside-down, which may
damage the chassis midplane and the server module.
1 Orient the server module so that its top side is up. The server module is correctly oriented for
installation when its components have the characteristics described below:
The server module's upper handle is above (outside) the lower handle.
a
The upper handle has the DELL logo™ on it, extends farther out than the lower handle, and has a
release latch on its inside. See Figure 3-12.
The upper edge of the server module has "TOP-SIDE" engraved in it. See Figure 3-12.
