Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your blade server. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

•Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

•Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

•Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.

•Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.

•While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the Blade Server Chassis SBCE for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

•Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, place it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your blade server cover or on a metal surface.

•Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing the Expansion Card

Complete the following steps to install the Expansion Card in a blade server:

1.Read “Safety and regulatory information” on page iii

2.Read “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page v.

3.Ensure that one Fibre Channel Switch Module is installed in switch-module bay 3 or bay 4 in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE. See the SBCEFCSW Installation Guide for detailed installation instructions.

✏NOTE

You must install at least one Fibre Channel switch module in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE when you install the Fibre Channel Expansion Card in a blade server. Installing a second Fibre Channel switch module in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE provides a backup switch in case one switch module fails.
