CAUTION:

To avoid data loss, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you back up all server data before installing or removing

a hardware option, or performing a server maintenance or troubleshooting procedure.

CAUTION:

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this

manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Electrostatic discharge

Be aware of the precautions you must follow when setting up the system or handling components. A discharge of static electricity from a

finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy

of the system or component.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly. Use one or more of the following methods when

handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a

minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive

floors or dissipating floor mats.

Use conductive field service tools.

Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.

For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized reseller.
