Tools and Supplies Needed
Jumper removal tool or needle nosed pliers
Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)
Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person
should configure the server board.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT completely turn off the system AC
power, 5 V standby is still active whenever the system is plugged in. To remove power from
system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power
cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices & cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on
power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power
cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before
opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
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 ground, (any unpainted metal surface), on your server when
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
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips
over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your
fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab,
take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides
of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage
the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled
by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to
remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the stake pins on the board.
