This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on
the StorTrends 1300 chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in the order
given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some steps are
unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Philips
screwdriver.
Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to
any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The
following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-static bag.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the server board, add-on cards 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
server board.
