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.
L’installation doit être effectuée par un électricien • formé ou une personne formée à l’électricité connaissant toutes les spécifications d’installation et d’appareil du produit.
Ne transportez pas l’unité en la tenant par le câble • d’alimentation lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil.
La machine ne peut être utilisée qu’à un lieu fixe • comme en laboratoire, salle d’ordinateurs ou salle de classe.
Sécurité de fonctionnement

Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
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.
