Safety considerations

Preventing electrostatic discharge

Before performing service procedures, review all the safety information.

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Removal and replacement procedures 8

Server blade warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from high-current electrical energy, do not

remove the server blade access panel when power is applied through the HP ProLiant p-Class diagnostic station. Remove all power from the server blade before removing the access panel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock or injury from high-current electrical energy, do

not remove the server blade access panel while the server blade is installed in the server blade enclosure. Do not remove the server blade access panel and then install the server blade into the server blade enclosure.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and

the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the server blade and/or the

system. However, it may be necessary to leave the server blade powered up when performing other operations, such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting.

Rack warnings and cautions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure

that:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.

• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than

one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading

a rack:

• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is

adequately secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.

WARNING: This server blade enclosure is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal

injury or damage to the equipment:

• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. When the server blade enclosure weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at least two people must lift the server blade enclosure into the rack together. A third person may be required to help align the server blade enclosure if the server blade is installed higher than chest level.

• Use caution when installing the server blade enclosure in or removing the server blade enclosure from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened to the rails.

Removal and replacement procedures 9

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and

the internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating

uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system in operation during a power failure.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server blade for long periods with the access panel open or removed.

Operating the server blade in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

Removal and replacement procedures 10

Server blade preparation

To service any internal server blade component, power down the server blade and remove it from the server blade enclosure.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly

grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure.

System power in server blades does not completely shut off with the front panel power switch or iLO Virtual Power Button feature. The function toggles between on and standby modes, rather than on and off. The standby position removes power from most electronics and the drives, but portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active.

To service internal server blade components:

1. Identify the proper server blade in the server blade enclosure.

2. Back up all server blade data.

3. Power down the server blade in one of the following ways:

• Use the Virtual Power Button feature in the iLO Remote Console to power down the server blade

from a remote location. Be sure that the server blade is in standby mode by observing that the power LED is amber.

• Press the power button on the front of the server blade. Be sure that the server blade is in standby

mode by observing that the power LED is amber.

4. Remove the server blade from the server blade enclosure.

5. Place the server blade on a flat level surface.

CAUTION: Always populate server blade enclosure bays with either a server blade or server blade blank.

Operating the enclosure without a server blade or server blade blank results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

To install and power up a server blade, reverse the removal procedure. Server blades are set to power up automatically upon insertion. If you have changed this setting, use the power button or iLO Virtual Power Button feature to power up the server blade.

For more information about iLO, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide.
