Chapter 4. Installing options
This chapter provides basic instructions for installing hardware options in your
server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting
up IBM server hardware.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information:
v
Read “Safety information” on page 147 and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on
page 30. 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
Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
v
You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power
supplies, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
Attention:
The Remote Supervisor Adapter II is not a hot-swap or hot-plug
device.
v
The orange color on components and labels identifies hot-swap or hot-plug
components. You can install or remove hot-swap and hot-plug components while
the server is running, provided that the server is configured to support this
capability. See the instructions in this chapter for more information about
removing and installing hot-swap and hot-plug components.
v
The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points, where a
component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.
v
For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/
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.
v
You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.
v
Microprocessor sockets 2, 3, and 4 each contain either a microprocessor baffle
or a microprocessor and heat sink at all times.
v
You do not operate the server without the cover for more than two minutes.
