System Reliability Considerations

NOTICE:
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
• Each of the module bays on Dell Modular Server Chassis has either a module or end-cap (blank
plug) installed.
• A removed hot-swap module is replaced with an identical module or end-cap (blank plug) within 1
minute of removal.

Safety

CAUTION:
Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label
attached.
Figure 3-7. Caution Label
CAUTION:
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has
this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a problem
with one of these parts, contact a service technician.

Handling Static Sensitive Devices

NOTICE:
Static electricity can damage electronic Ethernet Switch Modules and the system. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive Ethernet Switch Modules in their static-protective packages until they are
ready to be installed. To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
•
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around your person.
• Handle the Ethernet Switch Modules carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins or exposed printed circuitry.
• Do not leave the Ethernet Switch Modules where others can handle and possibly damage the
Ethernet switch module.
•
While the Ethernet Switch Modules is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of Dell Modular Server Chassis for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your person.)
• Remove the Ethernet Switch Module from its package and install it directly into the Dell Modular
Server Chassis without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the Ethernet Switch Module down,
place it in its static-protective package. Do not place the Ethernet Switch Modules on your Dell
Modular Server Chassis or on a metal table.
