2.1 System Assembly
When installing a device, be sure to read the instructions accompanying the device
together with the relevant section in this chapter.
Safety Considerations
l Static electricity can destroy electronic devices. Whenever you handle an option
outside of its protective packaging, first discharge any static electricity from your
body by touching a protective grounding device or unpainted metal on the rear
panel of the system before unplugging the power cord.
l Before you install any option, turn all power switches off. Unplug all power cords
from the system and all peripherals. Leaving the power on can cause serious
damage to your system.
l If the system is mounted on an equipment rack, remove the system from the rack
and take it to a service area. Do not attempt to disassemble the system while it is
still in the equipment rack.
