SAS-827B Backplane Specifications

To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps listed below when accessing your system or handling the components.

D-1 ESD Safety Guidelines

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com­ponents. To prevent dam- age to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic bag.

Handle the backplane 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 card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

D-2 General Safety Guidelines

Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components from the computer, including the SAS-827B backplane.

Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the SAS-827B backplane.

Make sure that the SAS-827B backplane is securely and properly installed on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
