Chapter 9. Hardware replacement procedures
This section provides installation and removal procedures for all serviceable system components. Each

Note:
If you replace a part, such as an adapter, that contains firmware, you will also need to update the
firmware for that part. For more information about updating firmware, see “Update the firmware” on page 68.
Installation Guidelines
Before installing components in your server, read the installation guidelines.
Before installing optional devices, read the following notices carefully:
Attention:
Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by
keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation and handling these
devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Read the safety information and guidelines to ensure that you work safely.
– A complete list of safety information for all products is available at:
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/safety_documentation/pdf_files.html
– “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 91.
• Make sure the components you are installing are supported by the server. For a list of supported optional
components for the server, see
http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/
• When you install a new server, download and apply the latest firmware. This will help ensure that any
known issues are addressed, and that your server is ready to work with optimal performance. Go to
to download firmware updates for your server.
Important:
Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the
component is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster
solution before you update the code.
• It is good practice to make sure that the server is working correctly before you install an optional
component.
