Powering up the server
Power up the server as described in the documentation for your product.
Maintaining the server
Only certain server components are addable or replaceable as field replaceable units
(FRUs). Should any non-FRU component fail you must replace the entire server. Refer to
your product documentation for information on which components are FRUs.
Before attempting to perform hardware service procedures, review your service contract
because replacement of some server components by unauthorized personnel may void
service warranties.
This document refers to hard drive modules as disk drive assemblies.
Handling field replaceable units (FRUs)
This section describes the precautions that you must take and the general procedures
that you must follow when removing and storing any field replaceable unit (FRU).
Power issues and FRUs
Your storage system is designed to be powered on continuously. Most components are
hot swappable; that is, you can replace or install these components while the storage
system is running. Front bezels should always be attached and each compartment should
contain a FRU or filler panel to ensure EMI compliance and proper air flow over the FRUs.
You should not remove a faulty FRU until you have a replacement available.
When you replace or install FRUs, you can inadvertently damage the sensitive electronic
circuits in the equipment by simply touching them. Electrostatic charge (ESD) that has
accumulated on your body discharges through the circuits. If the air in the work area is
very dry, running a humidifier in the work area will help decrease the risk of ESD damage.
Follow the procedures below to prevent damage to the equipment.
Read and understand the following instructions:
u
Provide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the work site of any
unnecessary materials or materials that naturally build up electrostatic charge, such
as foam packaging, foam cups, cellophane wrappers, and similar items.
u
Do not remove replacement or upgrade FRUs from their antistatic packaging until you
are ready to install them.
u
Before you service a server, gather together the ESD kit and all other materials you
will need. Once servicing begins, avoid moving away from the work site; otherwise,
you may build up an electrostatic charge.
u
An ESD wristband is supplied with your storage system. To use it, attach the clip of
the wristband to any bare (unpainted) metal on the server; then put the wristband
around your wrist with the metal button against your skin.
u
Use the ESD kit when handling any FRU. If an emergency arises and the ESD kit is not
available, follow the procedures in
