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.

•

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-

•

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

#1. Activity LED Header

The activity LED header, designated JP26 and

JP47, is used to indicate the activity status

of each SAS drive. The Activity LED Header

is located on the front panel. For the Activity

LED Header to work properly, connect using a

10-pin LED cable.

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.
