CAUTION: To avoid data loss, back up all server data before installing or removing a hardware option, or
performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation, removal, or replacement procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
•
Install any hardware options before initializing the server.
•
If multiple options are being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options to identify similar
steps and streamline the installation process.
If the hardware option installation involves internal cabling, review the Cabling guidelines.
•
Rack mounting options
Use the quick-deploy, toolless rack rail option to install the server in a standard four-post rack. The rail design supports
installation on rack of different mounting interfaces.
For cable management, the rack rail kit might include one or both of the following options:
Rack rail hoop-and-loop strap
•
Cable management arm
•
Rail identification markers
The rack rail option support is dependent on these two factors:
•
The height and weight of the chassis as determined by the front- and rear-end server configurations.
•
The depth of the chassis as measured from the edge of the front panel (without the front bezel) to the edge of the
rear panel.
To ensure compatibility between the rack rails and the server, verify that the rail number labels on the chassis match the
ones stamped on the rails.
