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.
• 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.
• The rear drive cage is supported on some server models with thermal requirements. See “Thermal rules”
on page 192 to ensure that the server is under permitted ambient temperature and the correct heat sink
and system fans are used. If needed, replace your heat sink or system fan first.
