Installation
guidelines
Before
you
begin
to
install
options
in
your
server,
read
the
following
information:
v
Read
the
handling
guidelines
in
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices,”
and
read
the
safety
statements
in
“Safety
information”
on
page
119.
These
guidelines
will
help
you
work
safely
with
your
server
and
options.
v
Make
sure
that
you
have
an
adequate
number
of
properly
grounded
electrical
outlets
for
your
server,
monitor,
and
other
options
that
you
intend
to
install.
v
Back
up
all
important
data
before
you
make
changes
to
disk
drives.
v
Have
a
small,
flat-blade
screwdriver
available.
v
Before
accessing
the
inside
of
the
IBM
Eserver
xSeries
205
Type
8480
server,
rotate
the
two
front
stabilizing
feet
a
quarter
turn
towards
the
server,
so
they
do
not
break.
Before
placing
the
server
in
an
upright
position,
rotate
the
two
front
feet
a
quarter
turn
outward
from
the
server.
See
“Moving
the
stabilizing
feet”
on
page
38.
v
For
a
list
of
supported
options
for
your
server,

on
the
World
Wide
Web.
System
reliability
considerations
To
help
ensure
proper
system
cooling
and
system
reliability,
make
sure
that:
v
Each
of
the
drive
bays
has
a
drive
or
a
filler
panel
and
electromagnetic
compatibility
(EMC)
shield
installed.
v
There
is
adequate
space
around
the
server
to
allow
the
server
cooling
system
to
work
properly.
Leave
approximately
51
mm
(2
in.)
of
open
space
around
the
front
and
rear
of
the
server.
Do
not
place
objects
in
front
of
the
fans.
v
You
have
followed
the
instructions
for
cabling
provided
with
optional
adapters.
v
You
have
replaced
a
failed
fan
as
soon
as
possible.
Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
electronic
devices
and
your
system.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
static-sensitive
devices
in
their
static-protective
packages
until
you
are
ready
to
install
them.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
electrostatic
discharge,
observe
the
following
precautions:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
exposed
printed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
possibly
damage
the
device.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
static-protective
package,
touch
it
to
an
unpainted
metal
part
of
the
server
for
at
least
2
seconds.
(This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.)
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
the
server
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
the
device
down,
place
it
in
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
the
server
cover
or
on
a
metal
table.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather
because
heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
