•  When removing the memory modules, label the slot number on each memory module, remove all the 
memory modules from the system board (system board assembly), and set them aside on a static- 
protective surface for reinstallation.
•  When disconnecting cables, make a list of each cable and record the connectors the cable is 
connected to, and use the record as a cabling checklist after installing the new system board 
(system board assembly).
Attention: 
•  Read 
“Installation Guidelines” on page 35 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 36 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 44. 
•  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 system.
•  Put electrostatic-discharge gloves on before handling extremely sensitive electronic boards.
CAUTION: 
Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away. 
CAUTION: 
The heat sinks and processors might be very hot. Turn off the server and wait several minutes to let 
the server cool before removing the server cover.
