Content
You will need the following equipment:
- Small flat-blade screwdriver

Follow these instructions to install the clamp-on ferrite core onto the power cables for your non-hot-swap hard disk drives:
- Review the "Safety Information" and "Installing Options" sections of your IBM eServer xSeries 200 or xSeries 220 User's Reference.
- Turn off the server and peripherals, and disconnect all external cables.
- Remove the cover from your server.
- Use the screwdriver to open the clamp-on ferrite core.
- Clamp the core around the power cables for the hard disk drives, about 2 inches (50.8 mm) to 6 inches (152.4 mm) from the power supply.
Note: Do not clamp the core around the power cables for the CD-ROM drive, the diskette drive, or the system board.
- Secure the core with cable ties.
- Place the cable ties into the slots on the side of the core, as shown (the ridged side of the cable tie faces away from the core).
- Loop the cable ties around the cables and pull the ties snug.
- Trim off and discard the excess length from the cable ties.
- Place the cable ties into the slots on the side of the core, as shown (the ridged side of the cable tie faces away from the core).
