• Firmly ground yourself at all times when installing or assembling the
internal components of the server. Most of electronic components in the server
are highly sensitive to electrical static discharge.
• Use a solid grounding wrist strap and distintively place all electronic components in
static-shielded devices to prevent static. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in
any electronic supply store.
• Confirm that the power source is turned off and then disconnect the power cords from
your system before performing any type of installation or manual servicing. A sudden
surge of power could serverly damage the sensitive electronic components.
• Do not precipitously open the system’s top cover. If you must open the cover for
maintenance purposes, only a trained technician should be allowed to proceed this
action. Integrated circuits on computer boards are highly sensitive to static electricity.
Before operating a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a couple of seconds to discharge any static electricity on your body.

• Ensure that the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label
when connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output power
of loads must be within the specification.
• This equipment must be firmly connected to reliable grounding before usage. Pay
special attention to power supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power
strips.
• Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the
power cord. The power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current marked
on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord
should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.

• If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to
avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.
• Module and drive bays must not be empty. They must have a dummy cover.
• Never open the equipment without professional assistence. For safety reasons, only
qualified service personnel should open the equipment.
• If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked and tested by
service personnel:
