INSTALLING HARDWARE SAFETY MEASURES
2-1
2.1 Safety Measures
Always ask for assistance to move or lift the system.
Only perform troubleshooting as authorized by the product
documentation, or as directed by a service and support team.
Repairs not authorized by warranty may void the warranty
and damage the system.
Always make sure to disconnect the system from the electri-
cal source. Powering down the system DOES NOT insure the
system is safe for repairs.
Server components and circuit boards are easily damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on servers that are
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Always disconnect the server from the power outlet whenever
you are working inside the server case.
!
Wear a grounded wrist strap. If none are available, discharge
any personal static electricity by touching the bare metal
chassis of the server case, or the bare metal body of any
other grounded device.
Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than
dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
danger of static electricity exists.
Do not touch the components on the boards unless it is nec-
essary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit boards.
Leave all replacement components inside their static-proof
packaging until you are ready to use them.
