Installations and Upgrades

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection:  ESD can damage disk 
drives, boards, and other parts.  We recommend that you perform all 
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation.  If one is not 
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap 
attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server 
when handling parts. 
ESD and handling boards:  Always handle boards carefully.  They can be 
extremely sensitive to ESD.  Hold boards only by their edges.  After 
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the 
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface.  Use a 
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper.  Do not slide 
board over any surface. 
Safety and Regulatory Compliance 
See “Regulatory and Integration Information” on page 129 for product Safety and EMC regulatory 
compliance information. 
Intended uses:  This product was evaluated for use in servers that will be installed in offices, 
computer rooms, and similar locations.  Other uses require further evaluation. 
EMC testing:  Before computer integration, make sure that the chassis, power supply, and other 
modules have passed EMC testing using a server board with a microprocessor from the same 
family (or higher) and operating at the same (or higher) speed as the microprocessor used on this 
server board. 
Server board diagram label provided:  Place the label inside the chassis in an easy-to-see location, 
preferably oriented similarly to the server board.
