Installing or Replacing
Server Components

Your server is designed so that you can install or
exchange drive modules while the server is operating.

The server should be turned off before opening it to install or exchange other key
components. When working with the server hardware, always guard against static
electricity, which can damage electronic components. Touch a metal surface before
handling RAM or an expansion card or working inside the server.

When installing components, it’s wise to wear a wrist grounding strap that prevents
static electricity from discharging into electronic components. Be sure to connect the
end of the strap to the system.

It is good practice to use
an antistatic wrist strap
when accessing the
interior of the server.
