Selecting a workplace
❖
Before performing server maintenance, select a place that does not have high
humidity and is as free of dust and direct sunlight as possible.
❖
The ambient temperature and humidity should range between 50°F to 95°F (10
°
C to
35
°
C) and 30% to 80% RH. Avoid exposing the server to sharp temperature
fluctuations that could cause condensation.
❖
Never install or remove devices in a static-inducing environment (on a carpet, for
example). Electronic devices can fail if they are exposed to electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Working safely
❖
Make sure you read and understand the instructions and precautions in this guide
before performing server maintenance.
❖
Perform the steps in each procedure in the order written.
❖
Before disconnecting any cables, check their positions to make sure you reconnect
them correctly.
❖
Check cable connectors for broken or bent pins. If a cable connector has screws,
tighten the screws finger-tight when securing the cable.
❖
If a failure occurs, consult your authorized service provider.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, never operate the server with the side panel
removed.
CAUTION: Internal server components can be seriously damaged by static
electricity. Wear a wrist or heel ground cable to discharge static electricity carried on
your body. If such equipment is not available, touch a grounded metal object to
discharge static electricity before working on sensitive electronic components.
Once you remove a device from its antistatic package, if necessary, place the
antistatic package and the device on a flat, grounded surface. Store the antistatic
package.
To prevent static build-up, never drag the server when moving it.
