    UPER ERVER 5036T-T User's Manual • Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Page 27: Esd Precautions

    • After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.

  • Page 28: Operating Precautions

    UPER ERVER 5036T-T User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 5036T-T is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1.
