Before you install an SGI Origin 300 system with NUMAlink module, you should
familiarize yourself with the following items, which are discussed in the subsections that
follow.
• Hazard statements
• ESD precautions
• Safety precautions
• Preinstallation activities
During the installation of the computer system, be alert for hazard advisory statements.
The following list describes the hazard statement signal words:
• Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
• Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
• Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, can result
in minor or moderate injury. This signal word is also used to alert personnel against
unsafe practices that can result in equipment damage and/or data corruption.
Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during the entire installation process
to eliminate possible ESD damage to the equipment. Wear an SGI-approved wrist strap
when you handle an ESD-sensitive device. Connect the wrist strap cord directly to earth
ground.
Caution: Observe all ESD precautions. Failure to do so can result in damage to the
equipment.
