Installing and Removing Hardware

Before starting operation

When connecting a cable to the server, pay careful attention to the shape of the connector. If a incorrect connector is forcibly connected, it may bend or damage the connector pins. If the cable connector has thumb screws for fastening, tighten them to secure the connection.

Carefully handle options whose boards are not covered such as expansion cards because they are easily affected by static electricity. When holding an option whose board is exposed, hold it on the edges carefully.

After taking a device out of the antistatic package, put it horizontally with the components side up on a grounded plane free from static electricity. After taking out a device, keep the antistatic packing case for future use. Don't slide the server for relocation.

The user is not permitted to remove the server from the rack. If it is hard to install/remove an optional device as the server is mounted on the rack, ask an authorized MAGNIA service provider to do the work.

Special knowledge and technique are required for installing an optional device to the server of the Rack Type. If you have no experience in installing an optional device in the Rack Type or you consider the task difficult, consult an authorized MAGNIA service provider about installation.
