Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION!
ESD CAN DAMAGE DRIVES, BOARDS, AND OTHER PARTS. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
PERFORM ALL PROCEDURES AT AN ESD WORKSTATION. IF ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE,
PROVIDE SOME ESD PROTECTION BY WEARING AN ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP
ATTACHED TO CHASSIS GROUND -- ANY UNPAINTED METAL SURFACE -- ON YOUR
SERVER WHEN HANDLING PARTS.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their
edges without any component and pin touching. After removing a board from its protective wrapper
or from the system, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
System power on/off: To remove power from system, you must remove the system from rack.
Make sure the system is removed from the rack before opening the chassis, adding, or removing
any non hot-plug components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present
on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system and disconnect the cables
attached to the system before servicing it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two
jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with fingertips or with a pair
of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed
pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the
wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent
problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the
pliers or other tool used to remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.
CAUTION!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly or with an incorrect type. Replace the battery only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
