2.1.1Equipment and Operator Safety

Refer to the Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems (816-7190) for general safety information.

Read the following safety statements that are specific to the Sun Netra CP3220 blade server carefully before you install or remove any part of the system.

Caution – Depending on the particular chassis design, operations with open equipment enclosures can expose the installer to hazardous voltages with a consequent danger of electric shock. Ensure that line power to the equipment is disconnected during operations that make high voltage conductors accessible.

The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating electronic systems and the general practice of Sun systems integration and administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for hot-swap operation, other components must not be subjected to such stresses. Work with power connected to a shelf only when necessary, and follow these installation procedures to avoid equipment damage.

This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) from clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an installation:

■If possible, disconnect line power from the shelf when servicing a system or installing a hardware upgrade. If the shelf cannot be placed on a grounded antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical input ground (usually connected to the shelf) and facility electrical service ground.

■Use an antistatic wrist strap when performing the following tasks:

■Removing a blade server from its antistatic bag

■Connecting or disconnecting blade servers, boards, or peripherals

The other end of the antistatic wrist strap lead should be connected to one of the following:

■A ground mat

■The chassis metal as a ground
