Option Installation

Before you begin

•  Be sure the current server configuration is working properly.
•  Locate the key to the cover lock, if any.
•  Obtain a small, flat-blade screwdriver.
•  Read 'Safety Information'
•  If you are preparing a rack model, you might want to install it in the rack first before installing  options. See 'Installing a Server in a Rack Enclosure' for instructions on installing the rack model.

1.  Unlock and open the server door, if any. For convenience during these procedures, you might  prefer to remove the door completely.
   1.  Locate the flange on the top edge of the front door, near the hinge.
   2.  Press the flange downward while pressing out on the door, then, lift the door off the hinge. Set the  door aside.
       
      

        When unlocked, the server door will not support the weight of the server.
       To avoid personal injury, be sure to remove or lock the server door before moving or lifting the server.

2.  Remove any media (diskettes or CDs) from the drives, and then turn off all attached devices and the server.
3.  If you have a tower model, continue with 'Preparing a Tower Model'.  If you have a rack model installed in a rack enclosure, go to 'Preparing a Rack Model'.
