Introduction

The instructions in this guide are written for Customer Engineers (CEs) who are experienced at installing complex systems.

If installing an Superdome or hp 9000 Superdome for the first time, read this manual. It provides details about each step in the installation process. Some steps must be performed before others can be completed successfully. To avoid having to undo and redo an installation step, follow the installation sequence outlined in this guide.

Communications Interference

HP system compliance tests are conducted with HP supported peripheral devices and shielded cables, such as those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of all countries in which it is sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against interference with radio and television communications.

Installing and using the system in strict accordance with instructions provided by HP minimizes the chances that the system will cause radio or television interference. However, HP does not guarantee that the system will not interfere with radio and television reception.

Take these precautions:

Use only shielded cables.
Install and route the cables per the instructions provided.
Ensure that all cable connector screws are firmly tightened.
Use only HP supported peripheral devices.
Ensure that all panels and cover plates are in place and secure before system operation.

Electrostatic Discharge

HP systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this manual to prevent component damage from static electricity.

Take these precautions:

Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around system components.
Treat all assemblies, components, and interface connections as static-sensitive.
When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately from the system, keep the accessories in their conductive plastic bags until they are ready to be installed.
Before removing or replacing any components or installing any accessories in the system, select a work area where potential static sources are minimized, preferably an anti-static work station.
Avoid working in carpeted areas, and keep body movement to a minimum while installing accessories.
