Chapter 4: Installing Components

Opening the server case

Because the components inside your server are extremely sensitive to static electricity, make sure that you follow the instructions at the beginning of this chapter to avoid static electricity damage.

The total power requirement for this server exceeds the 240 VA

Warning energy hazard limits that define an operator accessible area. Therefore, only qualified technical individuals should access the processor and non-hot-plug I/O areas of the server while the system is energized. Power cords should be removed from the system before accessing not-hot-plug areas.

For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the side panel and

Caution the air duct (if included) before you turn on the server. Operating the server without the cover in place can damage server components.

To open the server case:

1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 65.

2 Turn off the server, then unplug the power cords and all other cables connected to the server.

Warning

This server may have two power cords. To disconnect internal

AC power, you must unplug both power cords.
