Handling Precautions (Anti-Static Measures) - NEC Express5800/R120d-2E User Manual

Handling precautions
The server contains electronic components sensitive to static electricity. Avoid failures caused by static
electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.
•
Wear a wrist strap (an arm belt or anti-static glove)
Wear a wrist strap on your wrist and provide earthing before starting work. If no wrist strap is available,
discharge static electricity from your body by touching an unpainted metal part of the chassis which is
grounded.
•
Select a suitable work space
− Work with the server on the anti-static or concrete floor.
− When you work with the server on a carpet where static electricity is likely to be generated, be sure to
take anti-static measures beforehand.
•
Use a work table
Place the server on an anti-static mat to work with.
•
Clothing
− Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.
− Wear anti-static shoes.
− Take off any jewels (a ring, bracelet, or wrist watch) before working with the server.
•
Handling of components
− Keep any component in an anti-static bag until you actually install it to the server.
− Hold any component by its edge to avoid touching any terminals or parts.
− To store or carry any component, place it in an anti-static bag.
•
Handling of cables
When connecting a cable (e.g., LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction against floor.
Connecting a charged cable with an I/O device may cause damage to the device.
It is recommended to discharge static electricity before connecting a cable by using ionizer or the like.
Consult with your sales representative for apparatus to discharge static electricity.
•
Installing/removing optional devices
− To avoid electric hazard and malfunction of the device, be sure to turn off the Power switch of the server
and unplug the power cord from outlet before starting work, except for hot-swappable devices
− Optional devices contain electronic components sensitive to static electricity. Avoid failures caused by
static electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.
