v
You have not installed any small computer system interface (SCSI) devices. The
blade server does not support SCSI devices. If you attach SCSI devices to the
blade server, these devices will not be recognized or configured, and they will not
operate.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the BladeCenter chassis for at least 2 seconds. This drains static
electricity from the package and from your body.
v
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server or
BladeCenter unit without setting the device down. 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.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
v
Wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available.
