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.
