CAUTIONS
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) AND ESD PROTECTION: ESD can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD while hot-swapping SCSI hard disk drives. However, we recommend doing all procedures in this manual only at an ESD-protected 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 baseboard on a conductive surface, the battery leads can 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.
SERVER 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.
