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 package until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD), observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v
Handle the device carefully. Hold 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 possibly damage the
device.
v
While the device is still in its static-protective package, you should hold the
device and touch an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two
seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.
v
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Best practices guidelines
To ensure optimal operation of your system, always follow these best practices
guidelines:
v Back up the data on your storage drives periodically.
v
To maintain power redundancy, plug the FAStT600 Storage Server’s right and the
left power supplies into two independent external power circuits through ac
distribution units inside a rack cabinet or directly into external receptacles.
Similarly, the right and left power supplies of the FAStT drive enclosures attached
to the FAStT600 Storage Server should be plugged into the same two
independent external power circuits as the FAStT600 Storage Server. This
