Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:
• Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines specified under
"Handling static sensitive devices" on page 40, and read the safety statements in
"Safety" on page v. These guidelines will help you work safely with your server
or options.
• You do not need to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power
supplies, hot-swap drives, hot-swap fans, Active PCI (hot-plug) adapters, or hot-
plug USB devices.
• The orange color on components and labels in your server identifies hot-swap or
hot-plug components. You can install or remove these components while the
system is running, provided that your system is configured to support this
function.
• The blue color on components and labels identifies touch points where you can
grip a component, move a latch, and so on.
• Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.
• Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
• For a list of supported options for the xSeries 350 server, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
