[0.3.40] A signal is deasserted when in the inactive
state. Active-low signal names have “_L” appended
to the end of the signal mnemonic. Active-high signal
names have no “_L” suffix. To reduce confusion when
referring to active-high and active-low signals, the
terms one/zero, high/low, and true/false are not used
when describing signal states.

SAFETY INFORMATION

XXI

[0.4.189] Safety Information

[0.4.190] Important Safety
Instructions

[0.4.191] Read all caution and safety statements in this docu­ment before performing any of the instructions.

[0.4.192] Warnings

[0.4.193] Heed safety instructions: Before working with the
server, whether using this manual or any other resource as a
reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. Adhere
to the assembly instructions in this manual to ensure and main­tain compliance with existing product certifications and approv­als. Use only the described, regulated components specified in
this manual. Use of other products / components will void the
UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will
most likely result in non-compliance with product regulations in
the region(s) in which the product is sold.

[0.4.194] System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT
turn off the system AC power. To remove power from system,
you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make
sure the AC power cord is unplugged before opening the chas­sis, adding, or removing any components.

[0.4.195] Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Haz­ardous electrical conditions may be present on power, tele­phone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, net­works, and modems attached to the server before opening it.
Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.

[0.4.196] Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection:

ESD can damage drives, boards, and other parts. We recom­mend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an
ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD pro­tection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis
ground any unpainted metal surface on the server when han­dling parts.

[0.4.197] ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards
carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic dis­charge (ESD). Hold boards only by their edges. After removing
a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface.
Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrap­per. Do not slide board over any surface.

[0.4.198] Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small
plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins.
Some jumpers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with
fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jump­ers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed

SAFETY INFORMATION

pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide
sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing inter­mittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper.
Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool
used to remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or
break.
