1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 38.

LEDs inside the server on the system board; then, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide for information about how to solve the
problem.

5. Remove the retention clip from the side of the optical drive filler panel. Save
the optical drive filler panel for future use.
