Removal and replacement procedures Required tools You need the following items for some procedures: • T-10 Torx screwdriver • T-15 Torx screwdriver • T-25 Torx screwdriver • T-30 Torx screwdriver • Philip-headed screwdriver • Flat-headed screwdriver Safety considerations Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information. Preventing electrostatic discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling parts.
This symbol on an RJ-45 receptacle indicates a network interface connection. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into this receptacle. This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists.
To power down the server, use one of the following methods: • Press and release the Power On/Standby button. This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby mode. • Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter standby mode.
Removing the server from the rack WARNING: This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling. • Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails.
Installing the server into the rack Procedure 1. Observe the following alert: CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation, so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top. 2.
