General Safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
• When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly, or twist, when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with you leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the
muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any object that weighs more than 16 kg (35lb) or any
object that you think is too heavy for you.
• Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer’s personnel are
not in a hazardous position.
• Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the
machine.
• Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves
are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing, or fasten it with a nonconductive clip,
approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing. Remember:
Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
• Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using
solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that
is worn or defective.
• Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
Electrical Safety
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To
avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the server system power cords,
telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless
instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
Important:
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
• Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material
that does not protect you when working with live electrical currents.
• Many customers have rubber floor mats (near their equipment) that contain small conductive fibers to
decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.
• Find the emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnect switch, or electrical outlet in the room. If an
electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the switch or unplug the power cord.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions, or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

vii
• Disconnect all power before:
— Performing a mechanical inspection
— Working near power supplies
— Removing or installing main units
• Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer
to power-off the wall box (that supplies power to the machine) and to lock the wall box in the off position.
• If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
— Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you. Remember: another
person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.
— Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your
pocket or behind your back.
— Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule,
you may prevent a current from passing through your body.
• When using testers, set controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.
• Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal
floor strips and machine frames.
• Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in
the safety sections of the maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.
• Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.
• Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.
• Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors,
nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.
• Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental inspection mirror. The
surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.
• When the power is on and power supply units, blowers and fans are removed from their normal operating
position in a machine, do not attempt to service the units. This practice ensures correct grounding of the
units.
• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution:
— Switch power off
— Send another person to get help/medical aid
Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (IC) should be considered sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects.
Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server, the part, the work mat, and the person
handling the part are all at the same charge.
✏NOTE
Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.
Make sure that the ESD-protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
• Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
• Avoid contact with other people.
• Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.

viii Intel Blade Server FC Expansion Card SBFCM: Installation and User’s Guide
• Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially
useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
• Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets the specific
service requirement.
— Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.
— Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or battery-
operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
— Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.
✏NOTE
The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.
