Preparing to Install Options
Preparing to Install Options
Before you begin
Be sure your current server configuration is working properly.
Locate the key to the cover lock, if any.
Obtain a small, flat-blade screwdriver.
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 41 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices”
on page 42.
If you are preparing a rack model, you might want to install it in the rack
first before installing options. See Chapter 5, “Installing a Server in a Rack
Enclosure” on page 93 for instructions on installing your rack model.
1. Unlock and open the server door, if any. For convenience during these
procedures, you might prefer to remove the door completely.
a. Locate the flange on the top edge of the front door, near the hinge.
b. Press the flange downward while pressing out on the door; then, lift the
door off the hinge. Set the door aside.

CAUTION:
When unlocked, the server door will not support the weight of the
server. To avoid personal injury, be sure to remove or lock the
server door before moving or lifting the server.
2. Remove any media (diskettes or CDs) from the drives, and then turn off all
attached devices and the server.
3. If you have a tower model, continue with “Preparing a Tower Model” on
page 44.
If you have a rack model installed in a rack enclosure, go to “Preparing a Rack
Model” on page 46.
