Warnings
Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and
the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and
accessory modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply
are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for
accessory modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure
that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.
Cautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the
described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic
wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
Safety Information
Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:
Read all instructions carefully.
Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.
When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses
parts specified by the manufacturer.
Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a
heating device.
The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from
the rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the
bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.
The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock
circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt
can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to
keep small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from
accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the
procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the
following:
• A Philips screwdriver
• A flat-tipped screwdriver
• A grounding strap
• An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-
mended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect
connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.
