5 General Introduction

Safety Instructions

The following information relates to the safety of installation and maintenance personnel.

Read and follow all instructions before attempting to unpack, install or operate this equipment, especially before connecting the power adapter.

Electrical Safety

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from damage:

• Be aware of the power switch locations on the appliance’s chassis as well as the emergency power-off switch for the housing room, the disconnection switch or the electrical outlet. Knowing these locations enables you to quickly remove electrical power from the system in case an electrical accident occurs.

• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

• The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain, moisture or install this product near water.

• Avoid installation of this product during a lightning storm.

• Ensure that the air vents (openings along the sides and at the backside) are never blocked and that there is sufficient airflow through the vents to prevent over-heating.

General Safety

• Keep the area around the appliance clean and free of clutter.

• Locate a safe and dry location to place this product. Keep it away from wet surfaces/surroundings.

• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

6 Appliance Installation Guide

ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards.

The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the server board and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the server board.

• After accessing the inside of the system, close back the system and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.
