Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in
the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

(For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are
not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become
unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

Before you begin a replacement or installation procedure, perform these tasks:
1.
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software required to support the new
feature. See IBM Prerequisite.
2.
If you are performing an installation or replacement procedure that might put your data at risk,
ensure, wherever possible, that you have a current backup of your system or logical partition
(including operating systems, licensed programs, and data).
3.
Review the installation or replacement procedure for the feature or part.
4.
Note the significance of color on your system.
Blue or terra-cotta on a part of the hardware indicates a touch point where you can grip the hardware
to remove it from or install it in the system, open or close a latch, and so on. Terra-cotta might also
indicate that the part can be removed and replaced with the system or logical partition power on.
5.
Ensure that you have access to a medium flat-blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a pair of
scissors.
