This
chapter
provides
basic
instructions
for
installing
hardware
options
in
the
server.
These
instructions
are
intended
for
users
who
are
experienced
with
setting
up
IBM
server
hardware.
If
you
need
more
detailed
instructions,
see
the
Option

Guide
on
the
IBM
xSeries
Documentation
CD.
Installation
guidelines
Before
you
begin
installing
options,
read
the
following
information:
v
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
v
and
the
guidelines
in
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page
8.
This
information
will
help
you
work
safely
with
the
server
and
options.
v
Make
sure
that
you
have
an
adequate
number
of
properly
grounded
electrical
outlets
for
the
server,
monitor,
and
other
devices.
v
Back
up
all-important
data
before
you
make
changes
to
disk
drives.
v
You
do
not
have
to
turn
off
the
server
to
install
or
replace
hot-swap
power
supplies
or
hot-swap
fans.
v
Blue
on
a
component
indicates
touch
points,
where
you
can
grip
the
component
to
remove
it
from
or
install
it
in
the
server,
open
or
close
a
latch,
and
so
on.
v
Orange
on
a
component
or
an
orange
label
on
or
near
a
component
indicates
that
the
component
can
be
hot-swapped.
Hot-swap
means
that
if
the
server
and
operating
system
support
hot-swap
capability,
you
can
remove
or
install
the
component
while
the
server
is
running.
(Orange
can
also
indicate
touch
points
on
hot-swap
components.)
See
the
instructions
for
removing
or
installing
a
specific
hot-swap
component
for
any
additional
procedures
that
you
might
have
to
perform
before
you
remove
or
install
the
component.

System
reliability
guidelines
To
help
make
sure
that
the
server
has
proper
cooling
and
system
reliability,
make
sure
that
you
perform
the
following
actions:
v
Each
of
the
drive
bays
has
a
drive
or
a
filler
panel
and
electromagnetic
compatibility
(EMC)
shield
installed
in
it.
v
If
the
server
has
redundant
power,
each
of
the
power-supply
bays
has
a
power
supply
installed
in
it.
v
There
is
adequate
space
around
the
server
to
allow
the
server
cooling
system
to
work
properly.
Leave
approximately
50
mm
(2.0
in.)
of
open
space
around
the
front
and
rear
of
the
server.
Do
not
place
objects
in
front
of
the
fans.
For
proper
cooling
and
airflow,
replace
the
server
cover
before
turning
on
the
server.
Operating
the
server
for
extended
periods
of
time
(more
than
30
minutes)
with
the
server
cover
removed
might
damage
server
components.
v
You
have
followed
the
cabling
instructions
that
come
with
optional
adapters.
v
You
have
replaced
a
failed
fan
within
48
hours.
v
When
replacing
a
hot
plug
fan,
you
have
5
minutes
to
install
the
new
fan
or
the
server
will
shutdown.
v
You
have
replaced
a
hot-swap
drive
within
2
minutes
of
removal.
