About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 185 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
Note: If the rack latches are not assembled with a VGA connector or the front I/O assembly, you can
install the rack latches without powering off the server.
• 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.
