The following text and symbols mark special messages throughout this guide:
Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should attempt to repair this
equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow
only subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity of the
individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs
at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring
board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indications of
component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any
warranty.

This chapter provides subassembly/module-level removal and replacement
procedures for the Compaq ProSignia 300 Server.After completing all
necessary removal and replacement procedures, run the DIAGNOSTICS program
to verify that all components operate properly.
NOTE: Refer to the support software guide for procedures on using the
Compaq System Configuration utility when installing or removing
expansion boards, mass storage devices, and Extended Industry
Standard Architecture (EISA) or Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI) options.
To service the Compaq ProSignia 300 Server, you will need the following:
o Torx T-15 screwdriver
o Ethernet loop back plug
o System Configuration software
o Diagnostics software
o Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics software
Chapter 2.1 Electrostatic Discharge Information
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or
micro-circuitry.Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary
precautions to prevent damage.To prevent electrostatic damage observe the
following precautions:
o Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes,
bags, or boxes.
o Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive
at static-free stations.
o Cover work stations with approved static-dissipating material.Provide a
wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and
equipment.
o Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic
assembly aids and Styrofoam.
o Always be properly grounded when touching a static sensitive component or
assembly.
o Avoid touching pins, leads or circuitry.
o Always place drives' PCB assembly side down on the foam.
o Use conductive field service tools.
Chapter 2.2 Preparation Procedures
Before beginning any of the removal and replacement procedures, complete
the following steps:
1. Turn the server and any peripheral devices off.
2. Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, then from the system
unit.
3. Disconnect all external peripheral devices from the server.
2. Push friction tabs up (located underneath bottom edge of bezel) and pull
forward.
3. Pull bezel forward at the middle pressure points shown in figure above.
Chapter 2.4 J Hood
1. Remove side access panel.
2. Unscrew Torx T-15 screws (4) at back panel.
3. Slide hood cover backward and then up.
4. Reverse steps to replace the hood.
Chapter 2.5 Air Baffle

installed.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the air baffle to remove any of the
server's components except the system I/O board.
1. Press the retaining latch (A) and swing the air baffle out away from
the chassis.
2. Place a flat bladed screw driver between the fan bracket and the air
baffles hinge as shown (B).
3. Gently pry the hinge pin out of the fan bracket and tilt the air baffle
away from the bracket.
Chapter 2.6 Mass Storage Devices
The ProSignia 300 Server has two 3 1/2 drive bays and three 5 1/4 drive
bays.
1. Remove side access panel and front bezel.
2. Disconnect power and signal cables from rear of drive.
3. Remove retaining screws (2).
4. Slide mass storage device out.
5. Reverse steps to install replacement.
IMPORTANT: When replacing hard drives remove rails before returning the
hard drive to Compaq.Replacement rails are not included in
hard drive spares kit.

Chapter 2.7 Boards
This section describes how to remove and replace the processor board,
memory modules, option boards, and the system board.
Processor Board
1. Remove retaining screw and pull board straight out.
2. Reverse steps for processor board installation.
Memory
1. Remove processor board.
2. Press SIMM connector latches outward (A).
3. Tilt SIMM module forward (B).
4. Lift SIMM module out (C).
5. To replace SIMM module reverse steps.
6. Run Compaq System Configuration Utility if installed memory size has
changed.
The Compaq ProSignia 300 Server comes standard with 16 MB of ECC system
memory.Memory can be expanded to a maximum of 208 MB by installing
combinations of 4, 8, 16, or 32 MB 60 or 70 ns industry-standard SIMM
modules in the six SIMM sockets on the processor board.The following
guidelines MUST be followed when installing or replacing memory:
o SIMMs must be installed in matched pairs; for example: two 16 MB modules.
o Install SIMM pairs in banks 1, 2, or 3.
o SIMM modules must be 60 or 70 ns. Do not install 80 ns SIMMs in the server.
Do not abuse, recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire or heat above
90oC, incinerate, or expose to water or fire.Use only replacement
battery/clock modules supplied by Compaq Computer Corporation. Disposal of
the battery/clock module should be accomplished within compliance of local
regulations or returned to Compaq Computer Corporation by established parts
