following steps:
1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
2. Under Product support , click System x .
3. Under Popular links , click Software and device drivers .
4. Click System x3100 M3 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the

v Before you install optional hardware, make sure that the server is working
correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an
operating system is installed. If the server is not working correctly, see the
Problem Determination and Service Guide for diagnostic information.
v
Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
v If you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is
near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the
server.
v
Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to
lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:
– Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.

object.

with your leg muscles.

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.

hot-swap drives.

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 and installing a specific
