Installation guidelines
Before you install optional devices, read the following information:
v
Read the safety information that begins on page v, the guidelines in “Working
inside the server with the power on” on page 20, and “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 20. This information will help you work safely.
v When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply
the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known
issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels
of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/xseries/index.html/, select System
4362 or 4363 from the Hardware list, click Go, and then click the Download tab.
For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying
firmware, see the System x and xSeries Tools Center at http://
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp
v Before you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server is
working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system
starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is
displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is
otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see "Solving
Problems" in the Installation Guide for diagnostic information.
v
Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
