General Safety Precautions; Esd Precautions; Operating Precautions; Onboard Battery Replacement - Keysight ixia Application Server Installation Manual

Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical
l
shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded
l
electrical outlets.
DVD-ROM Laser — CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. To
l
prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the
enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.

General Safety Precautions

To ensure general safety, do the following:
Keep the area around the Ixia Application Server clean and free of clutter.
l
The Ixia Application Server weighs approximately 23 lbs to 27 lbs (10.4 kg to 12.2 kg) when fully
l
loaded. When lifting the system, always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from the
l
system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt
l
sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that
l
can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or
areas where power is present.
After accessing the inside of the chassis, close it up and secure it to the rack after ensuring that
l
all connections have been made.

ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The
following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
l
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge
l
even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
l
modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
l

Operating Precautions

Make sure that the chassis cover is in place when the Ixia Application Server is operating, to ensure
proper cooling.

Onboard Battery Replacement

This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to local environmental regulations.
