• Properly route the cables. For some options, such as PCI cards, follow the cabling instructions that come
with the options in addition to the instructions in this manual.

Working inside the server with the power on
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is turned on might cause
the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an ESD wrist strap
or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.
The server supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is
removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside the server with the power on:
• Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside
the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.
• Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches.
• Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils. These items might fall into the server as
you lean over it.
• Avoid dropping any metallic objects into the server, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws.
