• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 47 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 48 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 62.
• 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.
Firmware and driver download: You might need to update the firmware or driver after replacing a
component.
• Go to
https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/products/servers/thinksystem/sr665v3/downloads/driver-list/ to
see the latest firmware and driver updates for your server.
• Go to
“Update the firmware” on page 467 for more information on firmware updating tools.
