Chapter 2. Installing the RDX drive

This chapter provides installation instructions for the internal RDX drive (see

“Installing an internal RDX drive” on page 6) and the external RDX drive (see

“Installing the external RDX drive” on page 7). Depending on the server, you might

need a standard or Philips screwdriver to remove the server cover and install the

drive in your server.

Installation guidelines

Before you remove or replace a device, read the following safety information:

v Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Handling static-sensitive

devices.” This information will help you work safely.

Attention: Take standard electrostatic discharge precautions when you work

inside the server.

v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed

covers and other parts in a safe place.

v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to

lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions:

– Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.

– Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

– Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy

object.

– To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up

with your leg muscles.

v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical

outlets for the server and all attached devices.

v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices. To avoid damage,

keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready

to install them.

To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the

following precautions:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an

electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.

v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.

v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal surface for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the

package and from your body.

v Remove the device from its package and install it immediately without setting

down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its

static-protective package. Do not place the device on a metal surface.
