Chapter 4. Installing optional devices This section provides instructions for installing and replacing hardware options in the computer. For a list of supported optional devices for the computer, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. Installation guidelines Before you install optional devices, read the following information: v Read the safety information that begins on page v and the guidelines in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 30. This information will help you work safely. v When you install your new computer, take the opportunity to download and apply the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your computer is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your computer, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/and click Downloads and drivers. v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place. v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions: - Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping - Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. - Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy object. - To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or pushing up with your leg muscles. v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the computer, monitor, and other devices. v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available. v When you have to access the inside of the computer, you might find it easier to lay the computer on its side. v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the computer, open or close a latch, and so on. v When you are finished working on the computer, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. System reliability considerations To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met: 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 computer to allow the computer cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the computer. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the computer cover before you turn on the computer. Operating the computer for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the computer cover removed might damage computer components. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2007 29

a
drive
or
a
filler
panel
and
