Chapter 2. Installing optional devices
Important: 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. If the server is not working correctly, see the
Problem Determination and Service Guide for diagnostic information.
This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing optional hardware devices in
the server.
