2 Important notes

In this chapter you will find essential information regarding safety when working
with your server.

V CAUTION!

With the system board installed you must open the system to access the
system board. How to access the system board of your system is
described in the appropriate service supplement.

When handling the system board, refer to the specific notes on safety in
the operating manual and/or service supplement for the respective
server.

2.1 Notes on safety

V CAUTION!

● The actions described in these instructions should only be performed

by authorized, qualified personnel. Equipment repairs should only be
performed by qualified staff. Any failure to observe the guidelines in
this manual, and any unauthorized openings and improper repairs
could expose the user to risks (electric shock, fire hazards) and could
also damage the equipment. Please note that any unauthorized
openings of the device will result in the invalidation of the warranty
and exclusion from all liability.

● Transport the device only in the antistatic original packaging or in

packaging that protects it from knocks and jolts.

● Only install expansions that are allowed for the system board. If you

install other expansions, you may damage the requirements and rules
governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility or your system.
Information on which system expansions are suitable can be
obtained from the customer service centre or your sales outlet.

● The warranty expires if the device is damaged during the installation

or replacement of system expansions.

Notes on safety Important notes

V ● Components can become very hot during operation. Ensure you do

not touch components when making extensions to the system board.
There is a danger of burns!.

● Transmission lines to peripheral devices must be adequately

shielded.

● To the LAN wiring the requirements apply in accordance with the

standards EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2. As minimum requirement
the use of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 MBps
Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet is considered.
The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC 11801 are to be
considered.

● Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm

(lightning hazard).

Batteries

V CAUTION!

● Incorrect replacement of lithium battery may lead to a risk of

explosion. The batteries may only be replaced with identical batteries
or with a type recommended by the manufacturer.

It is essential to observe the instructions in chapter “Replacing the

lithium battery”.

Important notes Notes on safety

Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components

Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:

Figure 1: ESD label

When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:

● You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a

grounded object) before working.

● The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.

● Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing

boards containing ESDs.

● Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.

● Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

● Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the

system unit as you install/deinstall the board.

● Place all components on a static-safe base.

I You will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the

relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).

CE Certificate Important notes

Notes about boards

● During installation/deinstallation of the system board, observe the specific

instructions described in the service manual for the server.

● Remove the plug from the mains outlet so that system and system board are

totally disconnected from the mains voltage.

● To prevent damage to the system board, the components and conductors on

it, please take great care when you insert or remove boards. Take great care
to ensure that extension boards are slotted in straight, without damaging
components or conductors on the system board, or any other components,
for example EMI spring contacts.

● Be careful with the locking mechanisms (catches, centring pins etc.) when

you replace the system board or components on it, for example memory
modules or processors.

● Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.

2.2 CE Certificate

The shipped version of this board complies with the requirements
of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC "Electromagnetic compatibility".

Compliance was tested in a typical PRIMERGY configuration.

Important notes Environmental Protection

2.3 Environmental Protection

Environmentally friendly product design and development

This product has been designed in accordance with standards for ”environmen­tally friendly product design and development“. This means that the designers
have taken into account important criteria such as durability, selection of
materials and coding, emissions, packaging, the ease with which the product
can be dismantled and the extent to which it can be recycled.

This saves resources and thus reduces the harm done to the environment.

Notes on saving energy

Devices that do not have to be on permanently should not be switched on until
they need to be used and should be switched off during long breaks and on
completion of work.

Notes on packaging

Please do not throw away the packaging. We recommend that you do not throw
away the original packaging in case you need it later for transporting.

Notes on dealing with consumables

Please dispose batteries in accordance with local government regulations.
Do not throw batteries and accumulators into the household waste. They must

be disposed of in accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
All batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol (a crossed-out

rubbish bin on wheels). In addition, the marking is provided with the chemical
symbol of the heavy metal decisive for the classification as a pollutant:

Cd Cadmium
Hg Mercury
Pb Lead

Notes on labeling plastic housing parts

Please avoid attaching your own labels to plastic housing parts wherever
possible, since this makes it difficult to recycle them.
