Electrostatic discharge precautions
To ensure proper handling of system components and to prevent hardware faults
caused by electrostatic discharge, follow these safety precautions:
■
Wear an anti-static wrist or ankle strap.
■
Observe all standard electrostatic discharge precautions when handling plug-in
modules or components that have been removed from any anti-static packaging.
■
Avoid contact with backplane components and module connectors.
Safety and handling precautions
To ensure your safety and the safe handling and correct operation of the equipment,
follow all safety precautions and instructions.
Caution: Observe safe lifting practices. Each server or each storage system
can weigh 51 lb. (23 kg) or more. At least two people are required to handle
and position a server in a rack.
Caution: There is a risk that a cabinet could fall over suddenly. To prevent this
from occurring:
■
If your system comes with a rack stabilizer plate, install it.
■
Fill all expansion cabinets including all storage enclosures from the bottom
to the top.
■
Do not remove more than one unit from the rack at a time.
