CAUTION: Always be sure that equipment is properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. Electrostatic discharge resulting from improper grounding can damage electronic components. CAUTION: Do not remove a power supply without a replacement ready to install. A failed power supply must remain in the system for proper airflow to prevent overheating while the system is operating. Preparing for Software Deployment To prepare for software deployment, you must first set up HP Rapid Deployment Pack or another deployment method. These deployment methods are discussed in Deployment and Management on page 35.
