Required tools
You need the following items for some procedures:
• T-10/T-15 Torx screwdriver (provided inside the server)
• HP Insight Diagnostics software ("HP Insight Diagnostics" on page 65)
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Safety considerations
Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• removing them from their containers. Place parts on a grounded surface before
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Server warnings and cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
• isable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
• power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
