CE
This product has passed the CE test for environmental
specifications. Test conditions for passing included the
equipment being operated within an industrial enclosure.
In order to protect the product from being damaged by
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly
recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclosure
products.

Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and •
after installation.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get •
caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll
up your sleeves.
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any •
conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential •
hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Disconnect all power by turning off the power and •
unplugging the power cord before installing or
removing a chassis or working near power supplies
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions •
exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a •
circuit; always check the circuit.
LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Installation only by a trained electrician or only by •
an electrically trained person who knows all English
Installation and Device Specifications which are to be
applied.
circulation. Be sure that the room in which you choose to
operate your system has adequate air circulation.
Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design •
allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis
permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow
of cooling air from internal components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled and can result in complete
or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention
procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid
these problems.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes •
good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic •
strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms
(Mohms).
Rack Mounting Installation Environment Precaution
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed 1.
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack 2.
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
created due to uneven mechanical loading.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the 3.
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to 4.
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted 5.
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).”
Do not carry the handle of power supplies when •
moving to other place.
The machine can only be used in a fixed location such •
as labs or computer facilities.
Operating Safety
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air •
temperature may not be adequate to cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures without adequate

Consignes de sécurité
Suivez ces consignes pour assurer la sécurité générale :
Laissez la zone du châssis propre et sans poussière •
pendant et après l’installation.
Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux qui •
pourraient être pris dans le châssis. Attachez votre
cravate ou écharpe et remontez vos manches.
Portez des lunettes de sécurité pour protéger vos •
yeux.
N’effectuez aucune action qui pourrait créer un danger •
pour d’autres ou rendre l’équipement dangereux.
•
Coupez complètement l’alimentation en éteignant •
l’alimentation et en débranchant le cordon
d’alimentation avant d’installer ou de retirer un
châssis ou de travailler à proximité de sources
d’alimentation.
Ne travaillez pas seul si des conditions dangereuses •
sont présentes.
Ne considérez jamais que l’alimentation est coupée •
d’un circuit, vérifiez toujours le circuit. Cet appareil
génère, utilise et émet une énergie radiofréquence
et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé conformément aux
instructions des fournisseurs de composants sans
fil, il risque de provoquer des interférences dans les
communications radio.
Avertissement concernant la pile au
lithium
Risque d’explosion si la pile est remplacée par une •
autre d’un mauvais type.
Jetez les piles usagées conformément aux •
instructions.
fonctionnement acceptable sans circulation adaptée.
Vérifiez que votre site propose une circulation d’air
adéquate.
Vérifiez que le couvercle du châssis est bien fixé. La •
conception du châssis permet à l’air de refroidissement
de bien circuler. Un châssis ouvert laisse l’air
s’échapper, ce qui peut interrompre et rediriger le flux
d’air frais destiné aux composants internes.
Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent •
endommager l’équipement et gêner les circuits
électriques. Des dégâts d’ESD surviennent lorsque
des composants électroniques sont mal manipulés et
peuvent causer des pannes totales ou intermittentes.
Suivez les procédures de prévention d’ESD lors du
retrait et du remplacement de composants.
- Portez un bracelet anti-ESD et veillez à ce qu’il soit
bien au contact de la peau. Si aucun bracelet n’est
disponible, reliez votre corps à la terre en touchant la
partie métallique du châssis.
Vérifiez régulièrement la valeur de résistance du
bracelet antistatique, qui doit être comprise entre 1 et
10 mégohms (Mohms).
Consignes de sécurité électrique
Avant d’allumer l’appareil, reliez le câble de mise à la •
terre de l’équipement à la terre.
Une bonne mise à la terre (connexion à la terre) est •
très importante pour protéger l’équipement contre
les effets néfastes du bruit externe et réduire les
risques d’électrocution en cas de foudre.
Pour désinstaller l’équipement, débranchez le câble •
de mise à la terre après avoir éteint l’appareil.
Un câble de mise à la terre est requis et la zone reliant •
les sections du conducteur doit faire plus de 4 mm2
ou 10 AWG.

Preparing the Hardware Installation
To access some components and perform certain service
procedures, you must perform the following procedures
first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the
server. The front panel Power On/Standby button
does not completely shut off system power.
Portions of the power supply and some internal
circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
1.
Unpower the FW-8877 and remove the power cord.
Unscrew the 7 chassis screws on the top cover of the 2.
FW-8877 System.
Slide the cover backwards and open the cover.
3.
Note:
The motherboards can support up to 64 GB 1.
memory capacity in maximum (registered and
ECC).
Since the system is capable of 2. Quad Channel
configuration, some installation guidelines have
to be followed to enable Quad Channel mode:
To insert 4 DIMMs on the system, insert DIMMS
into the 4 slots with black latches. And use slots
with white latches if more slots are required.
To activate Dual Channel instead of Quad 3.
Channel in the system, populate any 2 slots
with black latches. And then use slot with white
latch that belongs to the same channel as the
populated slot with black latch for any additional
DIMMs.
Starting from the board edge, one pair of black 4.
and white-latched slots is configured as one
channel.
