Chapter 4. Installing options This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing hardware options in your server. Installation guidelines Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information: v Read "Safety information" on page 101 and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices." This information will help you work safely with your server and options. v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your 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 your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/. System reliability guidelines 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 There is adequate space 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. Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2003 25

Chapter
4.
Installing
options
This
chapter
provides
detailed
instructions
for
installing
hardware
options
in
your
server.
Installation
guidelines
Before
you
begin
installing
options
in
your
server,
read
the
following
information:
v
Read
“Safety
information”
on
page
101
and
the
guidelines
in
“Handling
static-sensitive
devices.”
This
information
will
help
you
work
safely
with
your
server
and
options.
v
Make
sure
that
you
have
an
adequate
number
of
properly
grounded
electrical
outlets
for
your
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
your
server,
go
to
System
reliability
guidelines
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
There
is
adequate
space
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.
Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
electronic
devices,
including
your
server.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
static-sensitive
devices
in
their
static-protective
packages
until
you
are
ready
to
install
them.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
damage
from
electrostatic
discharge,
observe
the
following
precautions:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
exposed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
damage
it.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
static-protective
package,
touch
it
to
an
unpainted
metal
part
of
the
server
for
at
least
2
seconds.
This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
the
server
without
setting
down
the
device.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
down
the
device,
put
it
back
into
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
your
server
cover
or
on
a
metal
surface.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather.
Heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
