try taking a look on youtube. There's a great video by an Australian tech blog on how to strip your microserver to get to the RAM, pretty straightforward (I did it last night)

Unscrew them then, dear god.I everybody, I have a problem: I can't remove the motherboard 'cause there are 2 screws at the end of the tray so I can't upgrade the ram. Can you help me??? It's impossible for me to remove the motherboard for an upgrade???
Unscrew them then, dear god.

You turn them with your digits!

But the allen key does fit into the screw tops to loosen them if required
(Maybe we're all not a super butch as you )

Is this a joke?
Those 2 screws are thumb screws. Undo them (not surprisingly, using your thumb) and then the leads and pull the mobo out.
Probably best to address that question to the guy struggling to unscrew his thumbscrews (mine were loose)
After 9yrs of rebuilding my PC's, HTPC's and Laptop's I'm comfortable sticking my hands inside computers.
Anyway, back on topic
I'm all for mixed level of knowledge, but if something is screwed in and you can clearly see that, surely a monkey would know that you unscrew it to remove it?Don't forget to welcome the new member to AVForums ...

Can I add a PCI 800 Firewire card to this and connect it to a mac mini server? I've got WHS 11 installed and then 4x2TB set up in Raid 5. Could I keep the raid, or would I have to reinstall all the data (presuming I can connect it to a mac mini server for this purpose)
I broke the metal clip on the SAS connector as I was struggling to pull it out.
This is the N36L thread not the N40L thread but anyway, for what you want this might be good:Hi guys,
First post on this forum, Been a long time user though some great threads on here.
Looking at the N40L from dabs for £239.98
I'll be purchasing one of these units next week as the rebate offer is not valid until the end of the year at least.
HP ProLiant Microserver G7 N40L NHP EU SVR (658553-421) - dabs.com
I will be using this for ESXi which I'll host on a USB stick, The Super Talent one's are supposed to be best in class?
