Chapter 4. Installing options This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing hardware options in your server. Installation guidelines Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information: v Read the safety information beginning on page 197 and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 78. This information will help you work safely with your server or options. v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and any other devices that you will connect to the server. v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/. Note: Some preconfigured servers have a unique list of supported options. See the software documentation provided with those servers for more information. System reliability considerations To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that: v Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed. v There is space around the server to allow the cooling system to work properly. v Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are provided with the adapters. v All microprocessors have the same cache size and type and the same clock speed. v For proper cooling, do not leave the cover open for more than 15 minutes. v A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours. v The top cover is closed during normal operation. v Do not remove a defective power supply until a replacement is available. v For redundant and hot-swappable operation, the power supplies are connected to 200-240 V ac. Working inside a server with power on Your server supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while turned on with the cover removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on: v Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server. v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server. v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and loose-fitting wrist watches. v Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall into the server as you lean over it. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2003 77

options
in
your
server,
read
the
following
information:
v
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page

and
the
guidelines
in
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices”
on
page

This
information
will
help
you
work
safely
with
your
server
or
options.
v
Make
sure
that
you
have
an
adequate
number
of
properly
grounded
electrical
outlets
for
your
server,
monitor,
and
any
other
devices
that
you
will
connect
to
the
server.
v
Back
up
all
important
data
before
you
make
changes
to
disk
drives.
v
For

Note:
Some
preconfigured
servers
have
a
unique
list
of
supported
options.
See
the
software
documentation
provided
with
those
servers
for
more
information.
System
reliability
considerations
To
help
ensure
proper
cooling
and
system
reliability,
make
sure
that:
v
Each
of
the
drive
bays
has
either
a
drive
or
a
filler
panel
installed.
v
There
is
space
around
the
server
to
allow
the
cooling
system
to
work
properly.
v
Cables
for
optional
adapters
are
routed
according
to
the
instructions
that
are
provided
with
the
adapters.
v
All
microprocessors
have
the
same
cache
size
and
type
and
the
same
clock
speed.
v
For
proper
cooling,
do
not
leave
the
cover
open
for
more
than
15
minutes.
v
A
failed
fan
is
replaced
within
48
hours.
v
The
top
cover
is
closed
during
normal
operation.
v
Do
not
remove
a
defective
power
supply
until
a
replacement
is
available.
v
For
redundant
and
hot-swappable
operation,
the
power
supplies
are
connected
to
200-240
V
ac.
Working
inside
a
server
with
power
on
Your
server
supports
hot-swap
devices
and
is
designed
to
operate
safely
while
turned
on
with
the
cover
removed.
Follow
these
guidelines
when
you
work
inside
a
server
that
is
turned
on:
v
Avoid
loose-fitting
clothing
on
your
forearms.
Button
long-sleeved
shirts
before
working
inside
the
server;
do
not
wear
cuff
links
while
you
are
working
inside
the
server.
v
Do
not
allow
your
necktie
or
scarf
to
hang
inside
the
server.
v
Remove
jewelry,
such
as
bracelets,
rings,
necklaces,
and
loose-fitting
wrist
watches.
v
Remove
items
from
your
shirt
pocket
(such
as
pens
or
pencils)
that
could
fall
into
the
server
as
you
lean
over
it.
