3 Maintaining Your Server
CAUTIONS
ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. Perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. Do not touch the connector contacts. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. If you place the server 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. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
For proper cooling and airflow, always install the access cover before turning on the server. Operating the server without the cover in place can damage system parts.
