3 Installing the Server
This chapter provides information and procedures to install the server.
Safety Information
Use care to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing removal and replacement
procedures. Voltages can be present within the server. Many assemblies are sensitive to damage
by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Follow the safety conventions listed below to ensure safe handling of components, to prevent injury,
and to prevent damage to the server:
• When removing or installing any server component, follow the instructions provided in this
guide.
• 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! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected
from the server prior to removing or installing server hardware (unless you are removing or
installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component).
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. These voltages are present even when the main power switch is off.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can 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 (HP 9300-1155).
• Handle accessory boards and components by the edges only. Do not touch any metal edge
connectors or any electrical components on accessory boards.
