Safety Information and Technical Specifi cations

Chapter 1:

Safety Guidelines

To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps

listed below when accessing your system or handling the components.

1-1 ESD Safety Guidelines

Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-

age to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures

are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from ESD.

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• To uch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic

bag.

• Handle the RAID card by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

1-2 General Safety Guidelines

• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components

from the computer, including the backplane.

• Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the

backplane.

• Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the mother-

board to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

1-3 An Important Note to Users

• All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest

PCB Revision available at the time of publishing. The card you have received

may or may not look exactly the same as the graphics shown in this manual.

2-3 Front Jumper Locations and Pin Defi nitions

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the backplane,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts

between two pins to change the function

of the connector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with

a square solder pad on the printed circuit

board. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on and "Open" means

the jumper is off the pins.
