Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the server.

Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.

Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.

You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.

Blue on a component indicates touch points, were you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.

For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/.

System reliability guidelines

help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:

Each of the drive bays has a drive tray installed in it.

There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans.

You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.

You have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server.

avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages

until you are ready to install them.

reduce the possibility of damage from 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.

v If a

v If

not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.

While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on

metal surface.

Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Server power features

When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the service processor is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac power but is not turned on.

Turning on the server

Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button. The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways:

power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart automatically when power is restored.
