viii IBM®xSeries 220: Installation Guide
Statement 2
CAUTION:
When replacing the lithium battery, use only IBM Part Number 33F8354 or an
equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has a
module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module type
made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if
not properly used, handled, or disposed of.
Do not:
•Throw or immerse into water.
•Heat to more than 100 C (212 F)
•Repair or disassemble
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
Statement 3
CAUTION:
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or
transmitters) are installed, note the following:
•Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could
result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable
parts inside the device.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Danger
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note
the following. Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view
directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.

ix
Statement 4
≥18 kg (39.7 lbs) ≥32 kg (70.5 lbs) ≥55 kg (121.2 lbs)
CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
Statement 5
CAUTION:
The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power
supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device
also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from
the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

Handling static sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid
damage, keep static sensitive devices in their static-protective bag until you are ready
to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
•Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
•Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
•Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
•Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
•While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal
part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
•Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its
static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side
up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
•Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Major components of the xSeries 220 server
The orange color on components and labels in your server identifies hot-swap
components. This means that you can install or remove the component while the
system is running, provided that your system is configured to support this function.
For information about installing or removing a hot-swap component, see “Chapter 2.
Installing options,”on page 9.
The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a component
can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.
Notes:
1. You must turn off the server before touching these touch points.
2. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
The following illustration shows the locations of major components in your server.
