• Avoid touching the connectors on the bottom of the DIMM.
• Never wrap your fingers around a DIMM.
• Avoid touching the components on the sides of the DIMM.
• Never bend or flex the DIMM.
When installing a DIMM, observe the following guidelines:

Hard drive guidelines
SAS and SATA hard drive guidelines
When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.
• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
• Drives in the same logical volume must be of the same type:
o ACU does not support mixing SAS and SATA drives in the same logical volume.
o ACU does not support mixing traditional drives and solid state drives (SSD) in the same logical
volume.
SCSI hard drive guidelines
• Each SCSI drive must have a unique ID.
• The system automatically sets all SCSI IDs.
• If only one SCSI hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number.
