Installation Guidelines - Lenovo x3300 M4 7382 Installation And Service Manual

Installation guidelines

Use the installation guidelines to install the System x3300 M4 Type 7382.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on
might cause the system to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always
use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when removing or installing a hot-swap
devices.
Before you install optional devices, read the following information:
• Read the safety information that begins in "Safety" on page v and the guidelines in "Handling static-
sensitive devices" on page 38. This information will help you work safely.
• Make sure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of supported optional devices
for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/
• When you install your new server, 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 server is ready
to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to
www.ibm.com/support/ fixcentral
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device
is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before
you update the code.
For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying firmware, see the
ToolsCenter for System x and BladeCenter at
CENTER .
• Before you install optional hardware, 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 "Running the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs" on
page 130 for information about how to run diagnostics.
