Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation 3
Optional Components
The standard components of the Sun Fire T1000 server are installed at the factory.
However, if you ordered options such as additional memory or a PCI card, these are
shipped separately. Install these components prior to installing the server in a rack.
If you ordered any other options that are not factory-installed, see the Sun Fire T1000
Server Service Manual for installation instructions.
Note – All internal components must be installed only by qualified service
technicians.
Caution – Electrostatic damage can permanently disable the system or require
repair by Sun service technicians. Place components on an antistatic surface, such as
an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an
antistatic grounding strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when you
work on system components.
Note – The list of optional components can be updated without notice. Refer to the
Sun Store web site (http://store.sun.com) for the most current list of
components supported in the Sun Fire T1000 server.
