About this task
Attention:
• 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.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array (drive, RAID card, etc.), back up all RAID configuration
information.
