IBM 86645RY Hardware Maintenance Manual - Page 106

Notes Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified under "Safety information" on page 230. These guidelines will help you work safely while working with the server or options. You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap drives, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug PCI adapters. The orange color on components and labels in the server indicates hot-swap or hot-plug components. This means that you can install or remove the component 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 information provided in this chapter. The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on. Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install. Place the server in a location that is dry. Rain or spilled liquids might damage the server. Be sure to leave space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. On a tower model, leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of the server. On a rack model, refer to the documentation that comes with the rack. Leave about 50 mm (2 inches) of ventilated space on the right and left sides of the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave 100 mm (4 inches) of clearance at the rear of the server for cables. Have a supply of 1 MB and 2 MB, 3.5-inch diskettes available. Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. Have a small, flat-blade screwdriver available.
