Chapter 2. Installing options
This chapter provides basic instructions for installing hardware options in your
server. These instructions are intended for users who are experienced with setting
up IBM server hardware. If you need more detailed instructions, see the Option
Installation Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD.
Installation guidelines
Before you begin installing options in your server, read the following information:
vRead the safety information beginning on page v, and the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices”. This information will help you work safely with your
server and options.
vMake sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and other devices that you will connect to the
server.
vBack up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
vHave a small Phillips screwdriver available.
vFor a list of supported options for your server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ on the World Wide Web.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
vEach of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.
vSpace is available around the server to allow the server cooling system to work
properly. See the documentation that comes with the rack.
vYou have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
vYou have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server.
To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages
until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
vDo not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
vWhile the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from
the package and from your body.
vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without
setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, place it back
into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or
on a metal surface.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2003 7

vTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Removing the cover and bezel
Complete the following steps to remove the cover and bezel:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v, and “Installation guidelines” on
page 7.
2. Turn off the server and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power
cords; then, disconnect all external signal cables from the server.
3. Lift the cover release latch. The cover slides to the rear approximately 13 mm
(0.5 inch).

4. Slide the cover back, and lift the cover off the server.
Attention: To ensure adequate cooling and airflow, do not operate the server
with the cover removed. Operating the server with the cover removed might
damage server components.
5. Press in on the USB option tray (below hard disk drive bay 1) to release it and
slide the tray out until it stops; then, press the retention clip at the bottom rear
of the tray and remove the tray from the server.
Note: You need to remove the USB option tray and the bezel only if you are
installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive. It is not necessary if you are
installing other options in the server.
6. Press on the bezel retention tabs on the top, right side and bottom of the server,
and pull the bezel directly away from the server.
