drain???

Yea, I am not sure i completely follow either. As a best guess. I would shutdown the server. Then I would remove all the power from the rear.

Hi:

Place a metal bar accross the power-supply terminals to "drain" them :-}}

No, seriously, I think you mean issue a 'shutdown -h' to gracefully stop all daemons, sync the filesystems and stop all processing. Then, power-off the server using the GSP/ILO menus.

Regards!

If you ment simply mem. upgrade

1. Remove power from the system(Drain..IS this what you ment).

To shut down and power off the rp7400 computer system, perform the following steps.
a. Stop all active applications.
b. Perform a normal Operating System shut down, informing all logged on users of the impending
shut down.
c. Once the Operating system has halted, put the power switch in the standby (0) position.



2. Remove the front bezel.
3. Extend the SPU out the back of the cabinet.
4. Remove the back top cover
5. Remove the back air baffle
6. Remove the memory carrier.
7. Install new memory DIMMs in the memory carrier.
8. Reinstall the memory carrier.
9. Replace the back air baffle
10. Replace the top cover.
11. Slide the SPU back into the cabinet.
12. Replace the front bezel.
13. Power ON the SPU.
14. Verify the installation.

Even this might help u a bit:-
