boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
• Avoid hand contact by storing and transporting devices in anti-static containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the static-safe workstation
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching points, leads, or circuitry
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Server warnings and cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• When installing optional expansion cards, leave servers plugged in but switched off, where
possible, to retain earthing.
• Ensure that the power cord will not snag when the server is extended from the rack.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to
thermal damage.
Required tools
You need a T-10 or T-15 Torx screwdriver for some procedures:
