CAUTION:CAUTION:
To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing
a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation, removal, or
replacement procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Install any hardware options before initializing the server.
If multiple options are being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options to identify similar steps and
streamline the installation process.
If the hardware option installation involves internal cabling, review the Cabling guidelines.
