Installation Guidelines

Before installing components in your server, 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 that you work safely.
– A complete list of safety information for all products is available at:
