Equipment Rack Precautions - Intel AC450NX Product Manual

AC450NX Rack Server System Product Guide
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage
disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. This server can withstand
normal levels of environmental ESD while you are hot-swapping hard disk
drives and power supplies. However, we recommend doing all procedures
in this manual only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, you can
provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to
chassis ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling
components.
Handling boards and modules: Boards and modules can be extremely
sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing a
board or module from a protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board or module component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface.
If you place the I/O baseboard on a conductive surface, the back-up battery
leads may short out. If they do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and
will drain the battery. Do not slide a board or module over any surface.
Cooling and airflow: Operating the server with the top and side covers
removed can damage the components inside it. For proper cooling and
airflow, always replace the covers and air baffles before turning on the
server.
Back-up battery: Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
equipment manufacturer. Discard the used battery according to the
manufacturer's instructions.

Equipment Rack Precautions

WARNING
Anchor the equipment rack: The equipment rack must be anchored to
an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more
servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must
be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You must also
consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.
Main AC power disconnect: You are responsible for installing an AC
power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be
readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the
entire unit, not just to the server(s).
