SAS-826A Safety Guidelines

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

1-1 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.

1-2 General Safety Guidelines

•Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components from the computer, including the SAS-826A backplane.

•Disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any cables from the SAS-826A backplane.

•Make sure that the SAS-826A backplane is securely and properly installed on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
