Chapter 7 Installing Internal Options
7.5 Installing Expansion Cards
This section explains the types of expansion card, installation procedures, and notes
on expansion cards.
• Before installation, turn off the server and peripheral devices. Unplug the
power cables from the outlets ("1.4.3 Turning Off the Server" (pg.33)).
Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
• Expansion cards are susceptible to static electricity. Place them on conductive
pads or keep them in their packaging as long as they are not necessary.
• The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed. They
can be damaged by static electricity.
Before handling them, first touch a metal part of the server to discharge static
electricity.
• Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic parts
or the edges of the circuit boards.
