1.3 Installing Hardware 
Safety Measures 
WARNING! 
Always ask for assistance to move or lift the system. 
WARNING! 
Only perform troubleshooting as authorized by the product documentation, 
or as directed by a service and support team. Repairs not authorized by 
warranty may void the warranty and damage the system. 
WARNING! 
Always make sure to disconnect the system from the AC electrical source. 
Powering down the system DOES NOT ensure there is no electrical activity 
in the system. 
WARNING! 
• Server components and circuit boards are easily damaged by discharges 
of static electricity. Working on servers that are connected to a power 
supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines below 
to avoid damage to the server or personal injury. 
• Always disconnect the server from the power outlet whenever you are 
working inside the server case. 
• Wear a grounded wrist strap. If none are available, discharge any 
personal static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the server 
case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded device. 
• Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than dry 
environments. 
• A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity 
exists. 
• Do not touch the components on the chassis unless it is necessary to do 
so. Do not flex or stress circuit boards. 
• Leave all replacement components inside their static-proof packaging 
until you are ready to use them.
