Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the server/workstation, monitor, and any 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
For a list of supported options for the server/workstation, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
v
For your convenience during setup and service you might want to have a
separate location where you can temporarily connect the server/workstation to a
power source (using a separate power cord), keyboard, monitor, and mouse
(using a separate C2T device breakout cable). Additional C2T cables are
available in the cable option kit.
System reliability considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure:
v
Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
v
The cover is in place during normal operations, or is removed for no longer than
30 minutes while the server/workstation is operating.
v
There is space around the server/workstation to allow the server/workstation
cooling system to work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around
the front and rear of the server/workstation.
v
Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided
with the adapters.
v
A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours.
Working inside a server/workstation with power on
Your server/workstation is designed to operate safely while turned on with the
cover removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a
server/workstation that is turned on:
v
Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before
working inside the server/workstation; do not wear cuff links while you are
working inside the server/workstation.
v
Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server/workstation.
v
Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
v
Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall
into the server/workstation as you lean over it.
v
Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins,
or screws, into the server/workstation.
