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.
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
The total power requirement for this server exceeds the 240 VA
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.
Caution
For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the side panel and
the air duct (if included) before you turn on the server. Operating the
server without the cover in place can damage server components.
Warning
This server may have two power cords. To disconnect internal
AC power, you must unplug both power cords.
