•
Verify that the blade server battery is operational. If the battery becomes defective,
replace it immediately, as described in the Problem Determination and Service Guide.
3.1.2 Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention:
Static electricity can damage the blade 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:
•
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
•
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
•
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal
part of the Bull Blade Chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded
rack component in the rack you are installing the device in for at least 2 seconds. This
drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
•
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade 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 blade server cover or on a
metal surface.
•
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating dry winter
air further reduces its humidity and increases static electricity.
