Intel MB440LX manual Safety Guidelines

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, DEVICES AND CABLES: Hazardous

electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect telecommunications systems, networks, modems, and each power cord attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.

▲! CAUTIONS

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) AND ESD PROTECTION:

ESD can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. We recommend doing all procedures in this manual only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling components.

HANDLING BOARDS AND MODULES: Boards and modules can

be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing a board or module from its protective wrapper or from the server, place it component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface. If you place the system board on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If they do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery. Do not slide a board or module over any surface.

COOLING AND AIRFLOW: Operating the server with the covers removed can damage the server components. For proper cooling and airflow, always replace the covers before turning on the server.
