Warnings
- This guide is intended for use by qualified technical personnel with experience in installing and configuring hosting appliances. These appliances are complete, and it is recommended that you not open the appliances unless you are installing an auxiliary hard drive or memory.
- Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notes in documents supplied with the hosting appliance chassis, power supply, server board, and accessories. If the instructions for the chassis, server board, and power supply are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessories, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your hosting appliance meets safety and regulatory requirements.
- This hosting appliance was evaluated for use only in computer rack cabinets within computer rooms, data centers, or similar locations. Other uses require further evaluation. Any use of this hosting appliance outside of computer rack-mounting within a computer room, data center, or similar location will void the product warranty associated with the product.
- Make sure the AC power connection is through a properly grounded outlet. See Checking
the power cord for more information. Pressing the power button does NOT turn off all power to this hosting appliance. Some circuitry in the hosting appliance may continue to operate even though the front panel power button is off. Before performing any procedures, disconnect the hosting appliance from power sources, telecommunications links, networks, or modems. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage hosting appliance components. It is strongly suggested that you perform the installation procedures in this guide only at an ESD workstation. If you choose to perform the installation other than at an ESD workstation, you can reduce the risk of ESD by taking these precautions:
- Wear an antistatic wrist strap, and attach it to a metal part of the hosting appliance chassis.
- Touch the metal on the hosting appliance chassis before touching the server components or connectors.
- Keep part of your body in contact with the metal server chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the hosting appliance components.
- Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
- Hold the boards and drives only by the edges.
- Place the server components on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available, but do NOT use the component wrappers.
- Make sure that the AC power service connection is through a properly grounded outlet. See Checking
the power cord for more information.
