Warnings
Heed safety instructions:
Before working with your server product, whether you are using this guide or any
other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the assembly
instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals.
Use only the described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products/components will
void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most likely result in noncompliance
with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System power on/off:
Risk of electric shock or fire exist. Do not service the systems if energized by any source
of power. The power button
DOES NOT
turn off the system AC power. To remove power from the system, you
must unplug the AC power cords fully from the systems and from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord
is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components. Hazardous conditions, devices and
cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn
off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Liquid Cooling Solutions:
Follow the power off guidance. Prior to powering up any compute modules, check
the liquid cooling system for leaks and/or damaged parts (e.g. tubing, fittings, and disconnects). Ensure that
all power is off prior to disconnecting any cooling quick disconnects. Do not to energize or power up any server
node if the liquid cooling system is compromised in any way. To reduce risk of damage to the cooling system,
use care when installing or removing server nodes. Avoid excessive force when connecting & disconnecting
quick disconnects. Keep cooling tubing clear of pinch points when sliding server nodes.
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 you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your 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 you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the pins on the board.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage to your computer or the components within it. ESD can occur
without the user feeling a shock while working inside the system chassis or while improperly handling
electronic devices like processors, memory or other storage devices, and add-in cards.
Intel recommends the following steps be taken when performing any procedures described within this
document or while performing service to any computer system.
•
Where available, all system integration and/or service should be performed at a properly equipped ESD
workstation.
•
Wear ESD protective gear like a grounded antistatic wrist strap, sole grounders, and/or conductive shoes.
•
Wear an anti-static smock or gown to cover any clothing that may generate an electrostatic charge.
