CAUTION
Before removing the access cover for any reason, observe these cautionary
guidelines.
Turn off all peripheral devices.
Turn off the system by pressing the power button on the front of the chassis.
Then unplug the AC power cord from the chassis or wall outlet.
Label and disconnect all peripheral cables connected to the I/O connectors or
ports on the back of the chassis.
Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an anti-static
wrist strap attached to chassis ground—any unpainted metal surface—when
handling components.
CAUTION
The power button on the front panel does not disconnect the AC power. To
remove power from the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the AC
supply or from the computer chassis.
CAUTION
ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. 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 system when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold
boards only by their edges. Do not touch the connector contacts. After removing a
board from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the board component
side up on a grounded, static free surface. If you place the server board on a
conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If they do, this will result in a
loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery. Use a conductive foam pad if
available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide the board over any surface.
For proper cooling and airflow, always install the chassis side cover before turning
on the system. Operating it without the cover in place can damage system parts.
