1 Installing the server

Safety information

Follow the instructions carefully to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing removal
and replacement procedures. Voltage might be present within the server. Many assemblies are
sensitive to damage by ESD.
Follow the safety considerations listed to ensure safe handling of components, to prevent injury,
and to prevent damage to the server:
If installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component when power is applied (fans are
running), reinstall the server cover immediately to prevent overheating.
If installing a hot-pluggable component, complete the required software intervention prior to
removing the component.
If installing an assembly that is neither hot-swappable nor hot-pluggable, disconnect the power
cable from the external server power receptacle before starting the installation.
WARNING!
from the server before removing or installing server hardware (unless you are removing or
installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component). Voltage is present at various locations
within the server whenever an AC power source is connected. This voltage is present even
when the main power switch is off. Failure to observe this warning might result in personal
injury or equipment damage.
Do not wear loose clothing that might snag or catch on the server or on other components.
Do not wear clothing subject to static charge buildup, such as wool or synthetic materials.
If installing an internal assembly, wear an antistatic wrist strap and use a grounding mat, such
as those included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Grounding Kit.
Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal edge
connectors or any electrical components on accessory boards.

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up
the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor might
damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage might reduce the life
expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected
