Chapter 4. Installing options
This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing hardware options in your
server.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information:
v Read “Safety information” on page 101 and the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices.” This information will help you work safely with your
server and options.
v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the
server.
v
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
v
Have a small Phillips screwdriver available.
v

System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
v
Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.
v
There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to
work properly. See the documentation that comes with the rack.
v
You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
v
You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server.
To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages
until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from
the package and from your body.
v
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without
setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into
its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on
a metal surface.
v
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
