AS2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+ User's Manual The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets. Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 4-1).
Page 33: Esd Precautions
Chapter 4: System Safety After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.
Page 34: Operating Precautions
AS2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+ User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+ is operating to assure proper cooling.

Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be- fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Installing the CPU Backplates Two CPU backplates (BKT-0011L) have been preinstalled to the serverboard to prevent the CPU area of the serverboard from bending and to provide a base for attaching the heatsink retention modules.
Page 37 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket.
Page 38 AS2021M-T2R+/2021M-82R+ User's Manual Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules Two heatsink retention modules (BKT-0012L) and four screws are included in the retail box.
