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

listed below when accessing your system or handling the components.

are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

•

Touch 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-

•
