Safety Warnings

WARNING: English

Important Safety Instructions

Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the instructions. See also Intel Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information on the Resource CD and/or at http:\\support.intel.com\support\motherboards\server\safecert.htm.

SAFETY STEPS: Whenever you remove the chassis covers to access the inside of the system, follow these steps:

1. Tur n off all peripheral devices connected to the system.

2. Tur n off the system by pressing the power button.

3. Unplug all AC power cords from the system or from wall outlets.

4. Label and disconnect all cables connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back of the system.

5. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the system-any unpainted metal surface-when handling components.

6. Do not operate the system with the chassis covers removed. A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running. Also, there may be sharp pins and edges

on some board and chassis parts. Contact should be made with care. Consider wearing protective gloves.

Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

Lea todas las declaraciones de seguridad y precaución de este documento antes de realizar cualquiera de las instrucciones. Vea Intel Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information en el CD Resource y/o en http:\\support.intel.com\support\motherboards\server\safecert.htm.I

NSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD: Cuando extraiga la tapa del chasis para acceder al interior del sistema, siga las siguientes instrucciones:

1. Apague todos los dispositivos periféricos conectados al sistema.

2. Apague el sistema presionando el interruptor encendido/apagado.

3. Desconecte todos los cables de alimentación CA del sistema o de las tomas de corriente alterna.

4. Identifique y desconecte todos los cables enchufados a los conectores E/S o a los puertos situados en la parte posterior del sistema.

5. Cuando manipule los componentes, es importante protegerse contra la descarga electrostática (ESD). Puede hacerlo si utiliza una muñequera antiestática sujetada a la toma de tierra del chasis - o a cualquier tipo de superficie de metal sin pintar.

6. No ponga en marcha el sistema si se han extraído las tapas del chasis. Si el sistema ha estado en funcionamiento, el microprocesador y el disipador de calor pueden estar aún calientes.

También conviene tener en cuenta que en el chasis o en el tablero puede haber piezas cortantes o punzantes. Por ello, se recomienda precaución y el uso de guantes protectores.

AVVERTENZA: Italiano

PASSI DI SICUREZZA: Qualora si rimuovano le coperture del telaio per accedere all’interno del sistema, seguire i

seguenti passi:

1. Spegnere tutti i dispositivi periferici collegati al sistema.

2. Spegnere il sistema, usando il pulsante spento/acceso dell’interruttore del sistema.

3. Togliere tutte le spine dei cavi del sistema dalle prese elettriche.

4. Identificare e sconnettere tutti i cavi attaccati ai collegamenti I/O od alle prese installate sul retro d el sistema.

5. Qualora si tocchino i componenti, proteggersi dallo scarico elettrostatico (SES), portando un cinghia anti-statica da polso che è attaccata alla presa a terra del telaio del sistema - qualsiasi superficie non dipinta - .

6. Non far operare il sistema quando il telaio è senza le coperture. Se il sistema è stato a lungo in funzione, il microprocessore e il dissipatore di calore potrebbero essere surriscaldati.

Fare attenzione alla presenza di piedini appuntiti e parti taglienti sulle schede e sul telaio. È consigliabile l’uso di guanti di protezione.

Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system from potential damage and to ensure your own personal safety.

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 system board, wait five seconds after turning off the system before removing a component from the system 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

Notice: 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 an y telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.

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.
