About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 51 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 52 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 68.
• 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.
• Read the
“PCIe slots and adapters” on page 61 to ensure that you install the serial port module to a
correct PCIe slot.
