Selecting a workplace
Before performing server maintenance, select a place that does not have high
humidity and is as free of dust and direct sunlight as possible.
The ambient temperature and humidity should range between 50°F to 95°F (10°C to
35°C) and 30% to 80% RH. Avoid exposing the server to sharp temperature
fluctuations that could cause condensation.
Never install or remove devices in a static-inducing environment (on a carpet, for
example). Electronic devices can fail if they are exposed to electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Working safely
Make sure you read and understand the instructions and precautions in this guide
before performing server maintenance.
Perform the steps in each procedure in the order written.
Before disconnecting any cables, check their positions to make sure you reconnect
them correctly.
Check cable connectors for broken or bent pins. If a cable connector has screws,
tighten the screws finger-tight when securing the cable.
If a failure occurs, consult your authorized service provider.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, never operate the server with the side panel
removed.
CAUTION: Internal server components can be seriously damaged by static
electricity. Wear a wrist or heel ground cable to discharge static electricity carried on
your body. If such equipment is not available, touch a grounded metal object to
discharge static electricity before working on sensitive electronic components.
Once you remove a device from its antistatic package, if necessary, place the
antistatic package and the device on a flat, grounded surface. Store the antistatic
package.
To prevent static build-up, never drag the server when moving it.
