procedure for installing the update, including any special procedure for updating from an early firmware or
device-driver version to the latest version.
1. After you have confirmed that the server starts correctly and recognizes the newly installed devices and
that no error LEDs are lit, run the Lenovo Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) stress test. For information
about using DSA, see “Dynamic System Analysis program” on page 164.
2. Shut down and restart the server multiple times to ensure that the server is correctly configured and
functions correctly with the newly installed devices.
3. Save the DSA log as a file and send it to Lenovo. For information about transferring data and logs, see
“How to send DSA data” on page 44.
4. To ship the server, repackage it in the original undamaged packing material and observe Lenovo
procedures for shipping.

Installation guidelines
Use this information to understand the guidelines that you need to follow when you install the server and
devices in the server.
Attention:
Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered on
might cause the system to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, use an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap and plug it into the Electrostatic-discharge connector on the front of the
server (near the video connector) or other grounding system when you remove or install a hot-swap device.
Before you install optional devices, read the following information:
• Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and the guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices” on
page 46. This information will help you work safely.
• Make sure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of supported optional devices
for the server see
http://www.lenovo.com/serverproven/
.
• Before you install optional hardware, 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 it boots through
POST. If the server is not working correctly, see “Running the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs” on page
166 for information about how to run diagnostics.
