Power up the server
To install the server components, you must unpack all components, install the server in a rack, connect the power
and network cables, and power on the system.
Electrostatic discharge
You must protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
To protect components from ESD:
• Ensure the component is fully grounded at all times to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
• When not installed in a rack, store server components in the original packaging or place on a sturdy surface
that is protected from electrostatic discharge.
• When handling server components, always use the electrostatic wrist strap provided or a similar form of ESD
protection.
