Before You Begin
Note: You do not need to turn the server off to install hot-swap
power supplies and hot-swap drives.
If your server came with a RAID adapter preinstalled, you must
configure your disk arrays after you install hard disk drives, as
described in “Installing Internal Drives” on page 148. In this
case, follow the instructions in the RAID adapter documentation
after installing the drives. Return here to install your remaining
options, if applicable. See Chapter 2, “Configuring Your
Server” on page 29 for additional details about configuration,
and a description of your server utility programs.
Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines
specified under “Safety Information” on page vii, “Electrical
Safety” on page 63 (or your safety booklet), and “Handling
Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 65. These guidelines will help
you work safely while working with your server or options.
In addition, you will need the following items:
– Antistatic wrist strap
– Standard-tip screwdriver with .375- to .500-inch by .04-inch
thick blade
– Phillips screwdriver with a #1 bit
– Phillips screwdriver with a #2 bit
