2-4Removal and Replacement Procedures

Preparation Procedures

Before beginning any of the removal and replacement procedures:

1.Turn OFF the server and any peripheral devices.

2.Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, then from the server.

3.Disconnect all external peripheral devices from the server.

4.For most removal and replacement procedures, you must remove the server from the rack and place it on a sturdy table or workbench. Refer to the ProLiant 1850R Setup and Installation Guide.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not attempt to remove the server from the rack by yourself. A minimum of two people are required to remove the server from the rack.

WARNING: Because the rack allows you to stack computer components on a vertical rather than horizontal plane, you must take precautions to provide for rack stability and safety. It is important that you follow these precautions to provide for rack stability and safety, and to protect both personnel and property. Heed all cautions and warnings throughout the installation instructions that came with the server.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure. See the section titled “Electrostatic Discharge” for more information.
