Chapter 4. Customer replaceable units This chapter provides instructions for installing, removing, and connecting optional devices that the server supports. Installation guidelines Before you begin to install options in the server, read the following information: v Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines at "Safety information" on page 119, including those specified under "Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 122. v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the 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 Phillips screwdriver available. v For a list of supported options for the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ on the World Wide Web. v The orange color on components and labels in the server identifies hot-swap or hot-plug component. You can install or remove hot-swap and hot-plug components while the system is running, provided that the system is configured to support this function. For complete details about installing or removing a hot-swap or hot-plug component, see the detailed information in this chapter. v The blue color on components and labels identifies touch points where you can grip a component, move a latch, and so on. 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 in it. v Space is available around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. See the documentation that comes with the rack. v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2002 37
