Opening up a rack server

TriedandTested · 31 Jan 2007 at 19:15

specifically a Dell PowerEdge. Is it pretty straight forward? They're blooming heavy...but i need to install a SCSI card as it didnt ship with it. They've sent me the part - just need to install it so i can connect it up to the DAT drive and get the backups going.

Anything i should consider before getting started?

Not really... you'll see once you open it up, it's all pretty much the same as a tower, just things are in slightly different places.

with some poweredges you might have to remove the riser card, everything clips in and out thou so shouldn't be too difficult
