About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 51 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 52 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding systems.
Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted surface on the outside
of the server. Then, take the drive out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Step 2. Remove the drive filler from the drive bay and keep the drive filler in a safe place.
