| To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not |
| open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way. |
1.5 | General Safety Precautions |
| – Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter. |
| – Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away |
| from the system or on a table so that they won’t accidentally be stepped on. |
| – While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and |
| unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be |
| pulled into a cooling fan. |
| – Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal |
| conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with |
| printed circuit boards or areas where power is present. |
| – After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the |
| rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. |
1.6 | System Safety |
| Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges |
| coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this |
| difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The |
following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
– Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
– Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
– Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use.
– Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
– Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
– Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
– When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
– Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic 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 serverboard.
