This chapter provides the basic information needed to install options in your server.
This section is for all users, but is written with the experienced user in mind. If you
need more detailed installation information, see the User's Reference on the IBM
Netfinity Documentation CD.
Your server supports hot plug, hot add, and hot swap devices and is designed to
operate safely while turned on with the cover removed. Follow these guidelines when
you work inside a server that is turned on:
• Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before
working inside the server; do not wear cufflinks while you are working inside
the server.
• Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
• Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall
into the server as you lean over it.
• Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins,
or screws, into the server.
