Chapter 2

System Safety

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.

Following the steps in order given should enable you to have your chassis setup and

operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick set up assumes that you are

an experienced technician, famailiar with common concepts and terminology.

2-2 Warnings and Precautions

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged

in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with carrier

who delivered your system.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold that chassis. It should

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well venilated. Avoid areas where heat,

electrical noise and eletromagnetic fields are generated.

You will also need it placed near at least one grounded power outlet. When config

ured, the SC502 chassis includes one power supply.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The SC502 Chassis bolts directly to a rack and includes the mounting screws you

will need to install the systems into the rack. Please read this manual in its entirety

before you begin the installation procedure.

2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SC502 from damage:

Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well

•

as the room’s emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical

outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from

the system.

•

Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

•

Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in

stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules

and the DVD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary for hot swappable drives).

When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the

operating system and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply

modules in the system.

•

When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is fa

miliar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power, if

necessary.

•

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This

is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use

extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical

components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

•

Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from

electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed

as electrical insulators.

•

The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

•

Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities This battery

must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by

the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.
