System AC922 (8335-GTX) server and to
install customer-installable hardware features. This information also provides removal and replacement

Before you install a feature, ensure that the software that is required to support the feature is installed on
the system. For information about software prerequisites, see the Power Systems Prerequisites

not installed, go to the Fix Central website (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/) to download it, and
then install it before you continue.
Installing these features is a customer task. You can complete this task yourself, or contact a service
provider to complete the task for you. You might be charged a fee by the service provider for this service.
