Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are using this guide or any
other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the
assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications
and approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other
products/components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most
likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove all power
from the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is
unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power,
telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord,
telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise,
personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic-encased conductor that slips over two jumper
pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle
nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle-nosed pliers to remove or
install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide
sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled
by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper,
or you may bend or break the pins on the board.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We
recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground, any
unpainted metal surface on your server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold
boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not
the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
