Working Safely Inside the Xserve
Always touch the Xserve enclosure to discharge static electricity before you touch any
components inside the Xserve. To avoid generating static electricity, do not walk around the
room until you have nished working inside the server and have replaced the cover. To minimize
the possibility of damage due to static discharge, wear an antistatic wrist strap while you work
inside the Xserve.
Warning: Always shut down the Xserve and disconnect the power cords before opening
it to avoid damaging its internal components or the components you are installing. Don’t
open the server while it is turned on. Even after you shut down the Xserve, its internal
components can be very hot. Let it cool before you open it.
Tools Required
The following tools are required for this procedure:
Phillips #2 scewdriver
Phillips #1 screwdriver
Small at-blade screwdriver
Nylon probe tool or similar plastic pry tool
Needlenose pliers
Removing the Xserve from a Rack
Alert users that the server will be unavailable for a period of time.

internal components cool.
