1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 24.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the
ServeRAID-8k adapter connector, open and close the clips gently.
3. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 26.
4. Open the retaining clips on each end of the ServeRAID-8k adapter connector.
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID-8k adapter to
any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the ServeRAID-8k
adapter and battery pack from the package.
