engaged?
CAUTION: Support the CMA during the installation. Do not allow the
CMA to hang by its own weight until it is secured from all three
connection points.
Procedure
1. Connect all peripheral and power cables and power cords to the
rear panel.
2. Install the CMA
a. Fasten the inner retention connector to left sliding rail hook.
b. Fasten the outer retention connector to left mounting rail hook.
c. Fasten the hinged connector to right mounting hook.
4. Rotate the rear panel cables and power through the CMA, and
then close the cable clamps.
Employ industry best practices in routing and managing these rear
panel cables and power cords.
Assessment Method:
Demonstration

management arm is followed during the duration of
the installation of the CMA?
3. Fasten the inner retention connector to the left sliding
rail hook while installing the CMA?
4. Fasten the outer retention to the left mounting rail
hook while installing the CMA, and closing the cable
clamps?
5. Fasten the hinged connector to the right mounting
hook while installing the CMA?
6. Open the cable clamps and rotate the rear panel
cables and power through the CMA?
7. Tighten the server tray thumbs screws?
8. Power up the server or install the shipping hardware?
9. Connect each power cord to the power source?
10. Power up the server?
CRITERIA
YES NO
Did you….
1. Check that you have all the parts and tools for
installing the fan cage?
2. Remove the front bezel?
3. Power down the server?
4. Disconnect each power from the power source, and
disconnected each power cord from the server?
5. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server?
6. Position the tower server for hardware configuration
or extend the server from the rack if it is in rack
configuration?
7. Remove the access panel?
8. Remove the air baffle?
9. Install the fan cage brackets by aligning the notches
on the bracket with the pins on the side of the
chassis.
10. Slide the bracket towards the rear of the chassis
until the spring plunger clicks into place?
11. Repeat the steps no. 9 and 10 to install the other
bracket?
12. Observe the guidelines for managing cables?
13. Make sure that the system cables are routed
through the front cable channel and secured properly
secured in the metal cable tabs?
14. Install the fan cage with its chassis brackets by
aligning the fan cage with its chassi brackets and
close the latches until they click into place?
CRITERIA
YES NO
Did you….
1. Press F9 to access the System Utilities used to
configure server’s boot settings?
2. Press F10 and access Smart Storage
Administrator to install and deploy an operating
System?
3. Press F11 to select a boot device?
4. Press F12 to PXE boot the server from the
network?
Assessment Method:
Demonstration
CRITERIA
YES NO
Did you….
1. Verify that the OS you are installing is supported by
the server?
2. Insert the installation media?
3. Power up the server and select the boot device where
the OS is located?
4. Deploy the network operating system (NOS) from the
selected installation media?
5. Update the drivers after the installation of the
network operating system (NOS)?
Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4
seconds to force the server to enter standby mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without
properly exiting applications and the OS. If an application
stops responding, you can use this method to force a
shutdown.
Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 5.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of
applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify the role and functions of network services.

3. Promote a computer server into a domain contrller.
4. Create active directory objects.
Network Services
In computer networking, a network service is an application running
at the network application layer and above, that provides data storage,
manipulation, presentation, communication or other capability which is
often implemented using a client-server or peer-to-peerarchitecture based on
application layer network protocols.
Each service is usually provided by a server component running on
one or more computers (often a dedicated server computer offering multiple
services) and accessed via a network by client components running on other
devices.
Domain Controllers
A domain controller (DC) is a server that responds to authentication
requests and verifies users on computer networks. The primary
responsibility of the DC is to authenticate and validate user access on the
network.
When users log into their domain, the DC checks their username,
password, and other credentials to either allow or deny access for that user.
Windows Domain
A domain is a concept introduced in Windows NT whereby a user
may be granted access to a number of computer resources with the use of a
single username and password combination.
A domain has a domain controller that governs all basic domain
functions and manages network security. Thus, a domain is used to manage
all user functions, including username/password and shared system
resource authentication and access.
A domain is also used to assign specific resource privileges, such as
user accounts.
