devices. However, you must turn off the server before performing any steps that involve removing or installing adapter cables or non-hot-swap optional devices or components.

vBlue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.

vOrange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.

vWhen you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.

vFor a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver.

vWhen working inside the server, you might find some tasks easier if you lay the server on its side.

System reliability guidelines

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:

vEach of the drive bays has a drive or an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

vIf the server has redundant power, each of the power-supply bays has a power-supply installed in it.

vThere is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the left-side cover before you turn on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the left-side cover removed might damage server components.

vYou have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.

vYou have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.

vYou have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.

vYou do not remove the air duct or air baffles while the server is running. Operating the server without the air duct or air baffles might cause the microprocessor to overheat.

vMicroprocessor socket 2 always contains either a microprocessor duct or a microprocessor and heat sink.

Working inside the server with the power on

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.

The server supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on:
