3. Install the media drive into the server. CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. IMPORTANT: By default, the DVD drive is installed in the lower drive bay. To boot from a DVD or CD-RW drive in the upper drive bay or to boot from a diskette drive in the lower bay, change the boot device selector switch to FLP BOT ("Boot device selector switch (SW1)" on page 15). NOTE: If two DVD or CD-RW drives are installed in the server, the server will first attempt to boot from the primary drive ("Boot device selector switch (SW1)" on page 15). The boot device selector switch setting determines which drive is the primary drive. 4. Power up the server (on page 27). Hot-plug power supplies The server supports a second hot-plug power supply to provide redundant power to the system in the event of a failure in the primary power supply. You can install or replace a second hot-plug power supply without powering down the server. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment. • Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server. Hardware options installation 44

Hot-plug power supplies
The server supports a second hot-plug power supply to provide redundant power to the system in the
event of a failure in the primary power supply. You can install or replace a second hot-plug power supply
without powering down the server.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against
it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord
extends from the server.
