Installing Optional Devices

Before installing an optional device, read the manufacturer's instructions and the

installation instructions in this manual. The procedures described in this chapter require

specific technical knowledge and experience. If you have not installed or removed

optional devices, or if the job seems difficult, consult an authorized Toshiba Magnia

service provider. Toshiba assumes no liability for damages if you install and/or remove

optional devices yourself.

DANGER: Some parts carry high voltages and are dangerous.To avoid electric

shock, shut down the server and disconnect the power cable before performing any

server maintenance.

Before performing server maintenance, select a workplace that is as free of dust as

possible, and also consider the following:

❖

The ambient temperature and relative humidity should range between 50°F to 89°F

(10°C to 32°C) and 30% to 80%. Avoid exposing the server to sharp temperature

fluctuations that could cause condensation.

❖

Never install or remove devices in a static-inducing environment (on a carpet, for

example). Electronic devices can fail if they are exposed to electrostatic discharge

(ESD).
