System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following
requirements are met:
v
Each microprocessor socket always contains either a microprocessor heat-sink
filler or a microprocessor and heat sink. If the blade server has only one
microprocessor, it must be installed in microprocessor socket 1.
v You do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a blade server, expansion unit,
or filler blade installed in each blade bay to ensure proper cooling. See the
documentation for your BladeCenter unit for additional information.
v
The blade server battery must be operational. If the battery becomes defective,
replace it immediately.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the blade server and other electronic
devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective
packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
v
When working on the BladeCenter T unit, use an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist strap, especially when you will be handling modules, options, and blade
servers. To work properly, the wrist strap must have a good contact at both ends
(touching your skin at one end and firmly connected to the front or back of the
BladeCenter unit).
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v
While the device is still in the static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component in the rack you are installing the device in for at least
2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from the package and install it directly into the blade server
without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it
back into the static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade
server cover or on a metal surface.
v
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Returning a device or component
If you are instructed to return a device or component, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
