How To Rebuild a Dell Precision 690 Server (From Scratch) 1.

phoenixcomm

imageFirst, this server was donated by a friend of mine who smokes! The first thing I did was to take it completely apart, every bolt, every panel, and run them through the Dishwasher! The parts I removed were:

      • Right Side Door
      • Large Plastic Fan Shroud
      • Right Side Upper Drive Bays (2)
      • Power Supply
      • Mother Board with the two CPUs and Coolers
      • Front Metal Bezel along with the spacers.
      • Front Plastic Black Bezel
      • DVD R/W  x 2 
      • Floppy Disk Drive
      • Carrier for the Floppy Drive
      • Dual Font Fan Assembly
      • Rear Cage Support
      • Rear Metal Vent
      • Front Jack Assembly
      • CN-0RH223  Power Supply P2 Extension Cable
      • CN-0TH82  Power Supply P2 Extension Cable
      • CN-0RH233  Power Supply Video Card Extension Cable
      • CN-0U9692  Power Supply

Now the fun begins I also wanted to remove Left Side Cover, This was a pain in the you know what to remove!! and was even worse to reinstall. Some cables are in the way of them so, remove them, they are:

      • CN-0J741     Flat ribbon Floppy Disk cable  
      • CN-0JD739  Flat ribbon Front Panel USB Cable
      • CN-0JD841  Firewire Front Panel I/O Cable (RED)
      • CN-0TH82   Power Supply P2 Extention Cable

Now, you found all of the blind screws, removed them, and have the panel off.
