1 Installing the System This chapter describes installation of HP Integrity Superdome/sx2000 and HP 9000/sx2000 systems. Installers must have received adequate training, be knowledgeable about the product, and have a good overall background in electronics and customer hardware installation. Introduction The instructions in this chapter are written for Customer Support Consultants (CSC) who are experienced at installing complex systems. This chapter provides details about each step in the sx2000 installation process. Some steps must be performed before others can be completed successfully. To avoid undoing and redoing an installation step, follow the installation sequences outlined in this chapter. Communications Interference HP system compliance tests are conducted with HP supported peripheral devices and shielded cables, such as those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of all countries in which it is sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against interference with radio and television communications. Installing and using the system in strict accordance with instructions provided by HP minimizes the chances that the system will cause radio or television interference. However, HP does not guarantee that the system will not interfere with radio and television reception. Take the following precautions: • Use only shielded cables. • Install and route the cables according to the instructions provided. • Ensure that all cable connector screws are firmly tightened. • Use only HP supported peripheral devices. • Ensure that all panels and cover plates are in place and secure before turning on the system. Electrostatic Discharge HP systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). CAUTION: Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this document to prevent component damage from static electricity. Take the following precautions: • Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around system components. • Treat all assemblies, components, and interface connections as static-sensitive. • When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately from the system, keep the accessories in their non-conductive plastic bags until you are ready to install them. • Before removing or replacing any components or installing any accessories in the system, select a work area in which potential static sources are minimized, preferably an antistatic work station. • Avoid working in carpeted areas and keep body movement to a minimum while installing accessories.

1 Installing the System
This chapter describes installation of HP Integrity Superdome/sx2000 and HP 9000/sx2000 systems.
Installers must have received adequate training, be knowledgeable about the product, and have
a good overall background in electronics and customer hardware installation.
Introduction
The instructions in this chapter are written for Customer Support Consultants (CSC) who are
experienced at installing complex systems. This chapter provides details about each step in the
sx2000 installation process. Some steps must be performed before others can be completed
successfully. To avoid undoing and redoing an installation step, follow the installation sequences
outlined in this chapter.
Communications Interference
HP system compliance tests are conducted with HP supported peripheral devices and shielded
cables, such as those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of
all countries in which it is sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against
interference with radio and television communications.
Installing and using the system in strict accordance with instructions provided by HP minimizes
the chances that the system will cause radio or television interference. However, HP does not
guarantee that the system will not interfere with radio and television reception.
Take the following precautions:
•
Use only shielded cables.
•
Install and route the cables according to the instructions provided.
•
Ensure that all cable connector screws are firmly tightened.
•
Use only HP supported peripheral devices.
•
Ensure that all panels and cover plates are in place and secure before turning on the system.
Electrostatic Discharge
HP systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
CAUTION:
Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this document
to prevent component damage from static electricity.
Take the following precautions:
•
Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around system components.
•
Treat all assemblies, components, and interface connections as static-sensitive.
•
When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately from
the system, keep the accessories in their non-conductive plastic bags until you are ready to
install them.
•
Before removing or replacing any components or installing any accessories in the system,
select a work area in which potential static sources are minimized, preferably an antistatic
work station.
•
Avoid working in carpeted areas and keep body movement to a minimum while installing
accessories.
