Chapter 3. Installing options
This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing hardware options in the
server.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing options in the server, read the following information:
v
For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/us/
compat/.
v Read the safety information beginning on page v and the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 12. This information will help you work safely
with the server and options.
v
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.
v
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
v
You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power
supplies, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
v
Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates
that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and
operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the
component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on
hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific
hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to
perform before you remove or install the component.
v
When you need to access the inside of the server, you might find it easier to lay
the server on its side.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper 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. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the
front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper
cooling and airflow, replace the left-side cover before turning on the server.
Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with
the left-side cover removed might damage server components.
v
You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
v You have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.
v
You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.
v You do not remove the air baffle while the server is running. Operating the server
without the air baffle might cause the microprocessor to overheat.
v
Microprocessor socket 2 always contains either a microprocessor baffle or a
microprocessor and heat sink.
