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 The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on. 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 on the outside 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 the server cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Removing the cover Important: Before you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server is working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide for diagnostic information. To remove the cover, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. If you are installing or replacing a non-hot-swap component, turn off the server and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server. 3. Slide the server out of the rack until the slide rails lock into place. 22 IBM System x3755 Type 8877: User's Guide
