Chapter 5. Hardware replacement procedures

This section provides installation and removal procedures for all serviceable system components. Each
component replacement procedure references any tasks that need to be performed to gain access to the
component being replaced.

Installation Guidelines

Before installing components in your node or chassis, read the installation guidelines.
Before installing optional devices, read the following notices carefully:
Attention: Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by
keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these
devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Read the safety information and guidelines to ensure your safety at work:
– A complete list of safety information for all products is available at:

– The following guideline is also available at:
• Make sure the components you are installing are supported by your system.

chassis.
2. Click Parts.
3. Enter the serial number to view a listing of parts for your system.
• When you install a new node, download and apply the latest firmware. This will help ensure that any
known issues are addressed, and that your node is ready to work with optimal performance. Go to
datacentersupport.lenovo.com/products/servers/thinksystem/sd550v3/7dd2/downloads/driver-list
download the latest firmware and driver updates for your server.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the
component is part of a cluster solution, verify the latest Best Recipe code level menu for cluster supported
firmware and driver before you update the code.
• If you replace a part, such as an adapter, that contains firmware, you might also need to update the
firmware for that part. For more information about updating firmware, see
231.
• It is good practice to make sure that the system is working correctly before installing an optional
component.
• Keep the working area clean, and place the removed components on a flat and smooth surface that does
not shake or tilt.
• Do not attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object, read the
following precautions carefully:
– Make sure that you can stand steadily without slipping.
– Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
