Notices and statements used in this book
The caution and danger statements also appear in the multilingual safety book provided on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD. Each statement is numbered for easy reference to the corresponding statement in the safety book.
The notice and statement definitions are as follows:
Notes: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice.
Important: These notices provide information that might help you avoid
inconvenient or problem situations.
Attention: These notices indicate possible damage to programs, devices, or data. An attention notice is placed just before the instruction or situation in which damage could occur.
Caution: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially hazardous to you. A caution statement is placed just before the description of a potentially hazardous procedure step or situation.
Danger: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to you. A danger statement is placed just before the description of a potentially lethal or extremely hazardous procedure step or situation.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. T o av oid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a meta l t a bl e.
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather; heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides instructions to help you install hardware options in your server. This section is for all users, but is written with the experienced user in mind. If you
need more detailed installation information for options, refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Moving the stabilizing feet
The four feet on the bottom of the server provide additional stability when the feet are placed in the stabilizing pos ition.
If the feet on your system are similar to the feet in the first illustration below, rotate them a quarter-turn inward to move them out of the way, or a quarter-turn outwards to provide stability.
If the feet on your system are similar to the feet in the following illustration, complete the following steps to place the feet in the stabilizing position.
1. Place the server on its side.
2. Locate the release tab inside the foot; then, lift up on the tab. Note: The following illustration shows the rear feet located on the bottom rear of
the server.

3. Rotate the foot inward to the unlocked position; then, remove the foot from the server.
4. Align the post in the center of the foot with the hole on the bottom of the server and place the foot between the guides as indicated.
Note: The following illustration shows the rear feet located on the bottom rear of
the server.
5. Rotate the foot outward until the foot locks into place.
6. Complete steps 2 through 5 for each foot. Note: When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you
might find it easier to lay the server on its side. If you do so, mak e sure the feet are in the horizontal position (see the previous steps). Otherwise, the feet might break off the server because of the weight of the server.

Removing the side cover
The following information describes how to remove the side cover. Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Complete the following steps to remove the side cover of the server.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety” on page v.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. If necessary, unlock the server cover.
4. Pull out on the cover-release latch, which will slide the cover toward the rear of the server about 12.7 mm (0.5 in.). Then, remove the cover from the server and set it aside.
To replace the side cover, see Installing the cover on page 22. Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the
