Before inserting a new memory module in to the vacant slot, make sure that the two latches—one at each end—are pulled outward away from the center of the slot (see Figure 2-4).
Installation Procedures 2.1.3 PCI Cards The RES-22XR3 Configuration 4 supports the PCI slots indicated in Figure 2-5. All slots support cards up to 12.28- inches long. Remember that slots 0 and 7 cannot be accessed through the rear I/O panel.
Latch To release, squeeze battery latch together… … and remove battery from socket Figure 2-6. The RES-22XR3 Lithium Battery and Socket 2.1.4.2 Installing a Lithium Battery Perform the following steps to insert a new lithium battery: 1. Tilt the replacement battery into the empty socket so that it is angled under the battery latch (see B, Figure 2-6).
To access the removable storage drives, you must first open the two front doors (see Figure 2-7). The knurled captive screw on the fr ont of the RES-22XR3 allows the doors to lock without a key . To unlock the doors, turn the screw counterclockwise and pull both doors away from the chassis.
Version 1.1 2.1.5.2 Storage-Drive Removal The accessory kit shipped with your RES-22XR3 Configuration 4 contains two bar- rel lock keys. This provides you the option of unlocking/locking the storage drives. After opening the front doors, perform the following step s to remove and install a...
The handle will swing closed when it comes into contact with the RES-22XR3 chassis. 4. When the drive is fully inserted in its slot, insert the key into the barrel lock and turn it 45 degrees counter-clockwise.
The RES-22XR3 contains three high-speed 80-mm fans. All fans are hot-swappable in case of a fan failure. Note: Since RES-22XR3 Configuration 4 fans are “hot-swappable”, it is not nec- essary to turn off system power in order to remove and replace a fan.
With the right hand index finger , press on the right hand side of the fan and pull the fan directly upward from the RES-22XR3 chassis. 3. When the fan is removed, its 4-wire connector will be disconnected from the chassis.
