Snap! 2200 Disassembly
(Article ID: 000953)
Step-by-step instructions
|
|
This is a Snap! 2200 server. This model was designed to replace the Snap! 2000. The design is a bit more compact that its predecessor.
|
|
|
This is the rear of the unit. Starting from the top there is the DC power port (1), power button (2), reset hole (3), and Ethernet port (4).
|
|
|
The chassis is held in the server case by two Philips screws. Remove these screws and tip the front of the server up. The chassis should slide out under the force of gravity.
|

This is the chassis as viewed from the top, front and bottom. When reassembling the server make sure that the lip on the chassis (down where the motherboard attaches to the chassis) slides in the track in the server case (see fourth picture in the case). The drive designations (IDE 1 and IDE 2) are the designations that are printed on the motherboard. Each drive is secured to the chassis by four Philips screws (two on each side). To remove the drives disconnect the data and power cables and then remove the four screws. After removing the screws carefully slide the drive out of the chassis. It may require a little force depending on the drive and how long it has been in the chassis.

This is the chassis with the drives removed. One might be tempted to remove the motherboard by removing the four screws that secure it to the chassis. While this method does work there is a much easier method.
|
|
|
To remove the motherboard from the chassis flip the chassis as shown and remove the single Philips screw that secures the motherboard tray.
|
|
|
Disconnect the fan power cable.
|
|
|
Slide the motherboard tray as shown. Note that the motherboard tray slides in and out of a track in the chassis. When reassembling the server make sure that the tray slides in to this track and not into where one of the hard drives mounts.

This is the motherboard of the Snap! 2200 server. As you may notice it is not much different from the motherboard of some of the newer Snap! 1100 servers. The major difference is in the number of interfaces (power and IDE) that are on the board. There is an interface for the type of fan that is used on the Snap! 1000/1100. The fan in the Snap! 2200 draws its power from the power tap used by one of the hard drives. In the case of my server it is the power tap used by the drive on IDE 1. Notice that this motherboard even uses the same square extension on the power button as is used on the Snap! 1000/1100 servers.

To remove the fan from the chassis, first release the power leads from the server chassis. After the power leads have been removed, unscrew the four Philips screws from the back of the chassis that secure the fan. You will probably need to use a hand to hold the fan in place as you unscrew the fourth screw. The fan that this server is using is made by Delta Electronics, Inc. It is a model AFB0612LB. It's power rating is 12VDC at 0.10 amps.

Removing the motherboard from the tray is fairly straightforward. Unscrew the four Philips screws securing it to the motherboard tray and lift the motherboard from the tray.
