When Using Your Computer System

As you use your computer system, observe the following safety guidelines:

Caution: Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers, bezels,

filler brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed:

• To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:

— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far

Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan

— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Also be sure

your monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

• To help avoid possible damage to the server board, wait five seconds after turning off the system before removing a component from the server board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

• To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply.

• Be sure nothing rests on your computer system’s cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult the documentation that came with it.

• Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a rug.

When Working Inside Your Computer

Note: Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this guide

and elsewhere in Intel documentation. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.

1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals.

2. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

vi Intel® RAID Controller SRCSAS18E User’s Guidel

Also note these safety guidelines:

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

• Handle components and cards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface, such as the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated. In addition to the preceding precautions, you can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
