2.1 Overview
This chapter provides advice and instructions for setting up your workstation. If your system
is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory, etc., refer to Chapter 4 for
details on installing those components.
Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such
damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), use a grounded wrist strap, handle all PCBs by their
edges, and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.
2.2 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the
system appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the system. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area
that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields
are generated. A grounded power outlet is required.
2.3 Workstation Precautions
•
Verify that the caster wheels on the workstation are locked.
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the workstation from power
surges, voltage spikes, and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
•
Allow the power supply units and hot-swap SATA drives to cool before touching them.
•
To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed and all SATA carriers
installed when not being serviced.
