Page 4: Caution
Failing to follow safety procedures will increase the risk of personal injury or equipment damage. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and ESD Protection: In most cases, ESD may damage disk drives, electronic boards and other parts. We recommend that you conduct installation only at an ESD free space. If not possible, perform ESD protection protocol by wearing anti‐static wrist straps attached to the ground on any unpainted metal surface on your server during operation. Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a short length conductor used to close, open or bypass part of an electronic circuit. Jumpers on InWin backplanes have a small tab on top that you can pick up with your fingertips. Grip the jumper carefully, and plug the jumper to cover the jumper pins on the backplane. Once you need to remove the jumper, grip the jumper and carefully pull without squeezing. CAUTION To avoid damage and maintain your safety, please read the following terms listed below: 1. Do not populate hard drives and turn on the power until the system has stabilized. Make sure hard drives and other components are properly connected before turning on the system. 2. Tighten or loosen all screws with a screwdriver. 3. Apply the correct screws packed in the accessory box. 4. For your safety, please have at least two people lift and install the unit in its designated area. 5. Before mounting the unit to the cabinet, make sure the rail is installed correctly. -
