Chapter 4. Installing options This chapter provides detailed instructions for adding hardware options to your server. Some option-removal instructions are provided in case you need to remove one option to install another. Installation guidelines Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information: v Review the safety information beginning on page 129 and the guidelines in "Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 132. These guidelines will help you work safely with your server and options. v When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the server. 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 need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap drives, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices. v The blue color on components and labels identifies touch points, where you can grip a component, move a latch, and so on. v For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ on the World Wide Web. System reliability considerations To help ensure proper system 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. v If the server has redundant power, each of the power-supply bays has a power supply 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 (over 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 as soon as possible. v You replace a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of its removal. v You do not remove the air baffle when the server is operational. 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. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2004 33

Chapter
4.
Installing
options
This
chapter
provides
detailed
instructions
for
adding
hardware
options
to
your
server.
Some
option-removal
instructions
are
provided
in
case
you
need
to
remove
one
option
to
install
another.
Installation
guidelines
Before
you
begin
installing
options
in
your
server,
read
the
following
information:
v
Review
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
129
and
the
guidelines
in
“Handling
electrostatic
discharge-sensitive
devices”
on
page
132.
These
guidelines
will
help
you
work
safely
with
your
server
and
options.
v
When
you
need
to
access
the
inside
of
the
server
to
install
options,
you
might
find
it
easier
to
lay
the
server
on
its
side.
v
Make
sure
that
you
have
an
adequate
number
of
properly
grounded
electrical
outlets
for
your
server,
monitor,
and
other
devices
that
you
will
connect
to
the
server.
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
need
to
turn
off
the
server
to
install
or
replace
hot-swap
power
supplies,
hot-swap
drives,
or
hot-plug
Universal
Serial
Bus
(USB)
devices.
v
The
blue
color
on
components
and
labels
identifies
touch
points,
where
you
can
grip
a
component,
move
a
latch,
and
so
on.
v
For
a
list
of
supported
options
for
your
server,
go
to
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/
on
the
World
Wide
Web.
System
reliability
considerations
To
help
ensure
proper
system
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.
v
If
the
server
has
redundant
power,
each
of
the
power-supply
bays
has
a
power
supply
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
(over
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
as
soon
as
possible.
v
You
replace
a
hot-swap
drive
within
2
minutes
of
its
removal.
v
You
do
not
remove
the
air
baffle
when
the
server
is
operational.
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.
