Safety Information and Technical Specifi cations

Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required be-

fore any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your

vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning

to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the

outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and

handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service

is complete.

For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.

supermicro.com/support/rma/).

Whenever possible, repack the mobile rack in the original Supermicro carton, using

the original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the

mobile rack securely, using packaging material to surround the mobile rack so that

it does not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.

This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages in-

curred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper

maintenance of products.

During the warranty period, contact your distributor fi rst for any product problems.

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.

• 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 mobile rack.

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

mobile rack.

• Make sure that the mobile rack is securely and properly installed on the moth-

erboard 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.
