Mainboard Replaceable Soldered-in Fuses
General Safety Precautions
007-6465-001
The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is
made to protect your equipment from ESD:
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for
use.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
•
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity
between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.
Important: If your system comes with self-resetting PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient)
fuses on the serverboard, they must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse
must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact your technical support organization
for details and support.
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•
Keep the area around the ISS C1104-GP6 systems clean and free of clutter.
•
The SGI ISS C1104-GP6 system can weigh approximately 32 lbs (14.5 kg.) when fully
loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet
spread out to distribute the weight. 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 system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
