Notes:
vIf no jumper is present, the server responds as if a jumper is on pins 1 and 2.
vChanging the position of the UEFI boot recovery jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and
3 before the server is turned on sets the UEFI recovery process. Do not change the
jumper pin position after the server is turned on. This can cause an unpredictable
problem.

Installation guidelines
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the system to halt, which might result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when removing or installing a hot-swap
device.
Before you install optional devices, read the following information:
vMake sure that the devices that you are installing are supported. For a list of
supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/
x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
vRead the safety information that begins on page vii and “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 29. This information will help you work safely.
vWhen you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply
the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known
issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels
of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated
code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level
of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying
firmware, see the ToolsCenter for System x and BladeCenter at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp.
vObserve good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
vDo 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.
vMake sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.
Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 27
vBack up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
vHave a small flat-blade screwdriver available.
vTo view the error LEDs on the system board and internal components, press the
light path button on the system board when the server is not connected to power.
vYou do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power
supplies, hot-swap hard disk drives, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial
Bus (USB) devices. However, you must turn off the server before you perform
any steps that involve removing or installing adapter cables.
vBlue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.
vOrange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates
that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and
operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the
component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on
hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific
hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to
perform before you remove or install the component.
vWhen you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards,
labels, and ground wires.
vFor a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
A single-power-supply server operating at 100 V or 240 V ac
One power supply operating at 100 V or 240 V ac supports a server with minimum
two-microprocessor configuration, but it does not support power redundancy.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following
requirements are met:
vEach of the drive bays has a drive or an electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
shield installed in it.
vIf the server has redundant power, each of the power-supply bays has a power
supply or EMC shield installed in it.
vThere is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to
work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the
front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper
cooling and airflow, replace the top cover and the fan door before you turn on the
server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes)
with the fan door removed might damage server components.
vYou have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters.
vYou have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours.
vYou have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal.
vFor redundant and hot-swappable power supply operation, the power supplies
are connected to 100-240 V ac.
vMicroprocessor socket each always contain either a socket dust cover or as 1 - 4
microprocessor and heat sink.
Notes:
1. The server automatically shuts down when the top cover is removed. The server
will not turn on without the top cover installed.
2. Hard disk drive temperature sensing is not supported.
28 IBM System x3755 M3 Type 7164: Installation and User’s Guide
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other 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:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
vWear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available.
vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
vDo not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
vWhile the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains
static electricity from the package and from your body.
vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into the server 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 the server cover or on a
metal surface.
vTake additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
