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 hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component. v When you have to access the inside of the server, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. Before laying the server on its side, rotate the two front stabilizing feet a quarter turn inward toward the server, so that they do not break. Before returning the server to an upright position, rotate the front stabilizing feet a quarter turn outward from the server. v When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/ servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. System reliability guidelines To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met: 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 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 server cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components. When installing the server in a rack, make sure that space is available around the server to enable the server cooling system to work properly. See the documentation that comes with the rack for additional information. 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. Working inside the server with the power on Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on. The server supports hot-plug, hot-add, and hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on. v Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server. v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server. v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches. v Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall into the server as you lean over it. 8 System x3200 Type 4362 and 4363: Installation Guide
