Hardware Installation

To install the HBA, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment. Touch the
static-protective package that contains the HBA to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, grasp
the HBA by the top edge or upper corners, remove it from the package, and inspect it for damage. Contact your
IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller if the HBA appears to be damaged.
2. Prepare the server. Turn off the server, and disconnect the power cord from the rear of the power supply.
3. Remove the cover from the chassis.
ATTENTION Make a backup of your data before changing your system configuration to avoid the risk of
data loss.
