Safety Information
Important Safety Instructions
Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the
instructions.
Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with the server, whether using this manual
or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions.
Adhere to the assembly instructions in this manual to ensure and maintain
compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the described,
regulated components specified in this manual. Use of other products / components
will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most
likely result in non-compliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the
product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power.
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 opening the chassis,
adding, or removing any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and 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) and ESD protection: ESD can damage 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 the server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (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.
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 can
be gripped with fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the 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 used to remove a jumper, or the pins on
the board may bend or break.
