Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Attention: Electronic boards, diskette drives, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge.
These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage.
Take the following precautions:
v
If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device.
v Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system.
v
With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system.
v Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or
pins.
v
If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before
picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at the same time.
v Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.
Color Coded Indicators
Some components in this system are color coded to indicate a location where an installation or removal
task is performed. When you are installing or removing components in this system, note that the handles
and latches are indicated using either blue or orange color. The colors indicate the following:
v
Orange designates a location for a component that can be installed or removed without powering off the
system. The system hardware and operating system must be enabled to allow these tasks. Also, there
might be preparatory steps that the user must perform before any installation or removal is attempted.
v Blue indicates a touch point that is used in the installation or removal of a component. The power must
be removed before you install or remove a part that has only a blue touch point.
Note: If a component has both blue and orange indicators, the orange indicator takes precedence over
the blue indicator.
