Installing options
This section contains instructions for installing options in the IntelliStation E Pro
computer. There is one section for Type 6216 (see “Installing options in the
IntelliStation E Pro Type 6216” on page 42) and a separate section for Type 6226
(see “Installing options in the IntelliStation E Pro Type 6226” on page 57).
Before you begin
Before you begin to install options in the computer, read the following information:
v Read the handling guidelines in “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive
devices” on page 132, and read “Safety information” on page 129. These
guidelines will help you work safely with the computer and options.
v
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the computer, monitor, and other options that you intend to install.
v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
v

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 computer to allow the computer cooling
system to work properly. Leave approximately 51 mm (2 in.) of open space
around the front and rear of the computer. Do not place objects in front of the
fans.

You have followed the instructions for cabling provided with optional adapters.
v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.
