System Reliability Guidelines; Handling Static-Sensitive Devices - Lenovo HR630X V2 User Manual

• The Red strip on the drives, adjacent to the release latch, indicates that the drive can be hot-swapped if
the server and operating system support hot-swap capability. This means that you can remove or install
the drive while the server is still running.
Note: See the system specific instructions for removing or installing a hot-swap drive for any additional
procedures that you might need to perform before you remove or install the drive.
• After finishing working on the server, make sure you reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground
wires.

System reliability guidelines

Review the system reliability guidelines to ensure proper system cooling and reliability.
Make sure the following requirements are met:
• When the server comes with redundant power, a power supply must be installed in each power-supply
bay.
• Adequate space around the server must be spared to allow server cooling system to work properly. Leave
approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place any
object in front of the fans.
• For proper cooling and airflow, refit the server cover before you turn the power on. Do not operate the
server for more than 30 minutes with the server cover removed, for it might damage server components.
• Cabling instructions that come with optional components must be followed.
• A failed fan must be replaced within 48 hours after malfunction.
• A removed hot-swap fan must be replaced within 30 seconds after removal.
• A removed hot-swap drive must be replaced within two minutes after removal.
• A removed hot-swap power supply must be replaced within two minutes after removal.
• Every air baffle that comes with the server must be installed when the server starts (some servers might
come with more than one air baffle). Operating the server with a missing air baffle might damage the
processor.
• All processor sockets must contain either a socket cover or a processor with heat sink.
• When more than one processor is installed, fan population rules for each server must be strictly followed.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Review these guidelines before you handle static-sensitive devices to reduce the possibility of damage from
electrostatic discharge.
Attention: Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by
keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these
devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Limit your movement to prevent building up static electricity around you.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, for heating would reduce indoor
humidity and increase static electricity.
• Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system, particularly when working
inside the server with the power on.
• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the
outside of the server for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your
body.
