Installing a PCI Expansion Card, Memory, Replacement
Battery, or Internal Storage Device
These instructions show how to install a PCI expansion card, memory, and an internal
storage device, and how to change the computer’s battery.
Opening the Server
1
Shut down your computer. Then wait 5 minutes to allow the computer’s internal
components to cool.
2 If you attached a security cable through the computer’s lockable cover latch, remove the
cable.
3 Unplug all the cables from the computer except the power cord.
4 If you have never plugged in your computer:
m Make sure the voltage switch is set correctly for the voltage system to which you will be
connecting the computer. (See the table “Voltage Switch Settings for Different Locations,”
in Chapter 1, “Setting Up.”)
m Connect the computer’s power cord and plug it in.
Warning Always shut down the computer before opening it to avoid damaging its
internal components.
Important Before installing any of these items, carefully read “About Memory,” “About
Internal Storage Options,” “About PCI Expansion Cards,” and “About the Server’s Battery,”
earlier in this chapter.
