Preface
6 Intel® Server Platforms SR4850HW4 & SR4850HW4/M Product Guide
Warnings
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system
AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power
cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before
you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables:Hazardous electrical
conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables.
Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications
systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it.
Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can
damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you
perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is
not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist
strap attached to chassis ground⎯any unpainted metal surface⎯on your
server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be
extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing
a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam
pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any
surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the stake pins on the board.
Removing server top cover: Only a QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN is authorized to remove the server’s top cover and to access
any of the components inside the server, except as noted herein.
Anchor the equipment rack: The equipment rack must be anchored to
an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more
servers are extended in front of the rack on slides. The anchors must be able
to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs.). You must also consider the
weight of any other device installed in the rack. A crush hazard exists should
the rack tilt forward which could cause serious injury.

Intel® Server Platforms SR4850HW4 & SR4850HW4/M Product Guide 7
Main AC power disconnects: Users are responsible for installing an
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be
readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire
unit, not just to the server(s).
Grounding the rack installation: To avoid the potential for an electrical
shock hazard, users must include a third wire safety-grounding conductor
with the rack installation. If the server power cord is plugged into an AC
outlet that is part of the rack, then users must provide proper grounding for
the rack itself. If the server power cord is plugged into a wall AC outlet, the
safety-grounding conductor in the power cord provides proper grounding
only for the server. Users must provide additional, proper grounding for the
rack and other devices installed in it.
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage
source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection. If the power system
for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more than 20
amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental protection for the
server.
Power Cord Rating: Do not attempt to modify or use an AC power cord
that is not the exact type required. You must use a power cord that meets the
following criteria:
The power cord must have an IEC 320 C13 connector to plug into the power supply on
the server.
For North America or similar electrical distribution systems, the cord must be UL
Listed/CSA Certified, 16/3 type SJT/SO, with NEMA 6-15P or equivalent attachment
plug.
For Europe or similar electrical distribution systems, the cord must be flexible VDE
certified or HAR rated 250V, 3 x 1.0mm2minimum conductor size, and rated for no less
than the product ratings.
Cord length and flexibility: Cords must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long.
CAUTIONS
Temperature: The range of temperatures in which the server operates when
installed in an equipment rack, must not go below 10 °C (50 °F) or rise above
35 °C (95 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of
problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front
of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1470 W (5000 BTU/hr) for
the server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to
the environment in which the server is used.

4. Identificare e sconnettere tutti i cavi attaccati ai collegamenti I/O od alle prese installate
sul retro del sistema.
5. Qualora si tocchino i componenti, proteggersi dallo scarico elettrostatico (SES),
portando un cinghia anti-statica da polso che è attaccata alla presa a terra del telaio del
sistema – qualsiasi superficie non dipinta – .
6. Non far operare il sistema quando il telaio è senza le coperture.
Dopo aver seguito i sei passi di SICUREZZA sopracitati, togliere le coperture del telaio del
sistema come seque:
1. Aprire e rimuovere il lucchetto dal retro del sistema qualora ve ne fosse uno installato.
2. Togliere e mettere in un posto sicuro tutte le viti delle coperture.
3. Togliere le coperture.
Per il giusto flusso dell’aria e raffreddamento del sistema, rimettere sempre le coperture del
telaio prima di riaccendere il sistema. Operare il sistema senza le coperture al loro proprio
posto potrebbe danneggiare i componenti del sistema. Per rimettere le coperture del telaio:
1. Controllare prima che non si siano lasciati degli attrezzi o dei componenti dentro il
sistema.
2. Controllare che i cavi, dei supporti aggiuntivi ed altri componenti siano stati installati
appropriatamente.
3. Attaccare le coperture al telaio con le viti tolte in precedenza e avvitarle strettamente.
4. Inserire e chiudere a chiave il lucchetto sul retro del sistema per impedire l’accesso non
autorizzato al sistema.
5. Ricollegare tutti i cavi esterni e le prolunghe AC del sistema.
Se il sistema è stato a lungo in funzione, il microprocessore e il dissipatore di calore
potrebbero essere surriscaldati. Fare attenzione alla presenza di piedini appuntiti e parti
taglienti sulle schede e sul telaio. È consigliabile l'uso di guanti di protezione.

18 Intel® Server Platforms SR4850HW4 & SR4850HW4/M Product Guide
Esiste il pericolo di un esplosione se la pila non viene sostituita in modo corretto. Utilizzare
solo pile uguali o di tipo equivalente a quelle consigliate dal produttore. Per disfarsi delle pile
usate, seguire le istruzioni del produttore.
Il sistema è progettato per funzionare in un ambiente di lavoro tipo. Scegliere una postazione
che sia:
Pulita e libera da particelle in sospensione (a parte la normale polvere presente
nell'ambiente).
Ben ventilata e lontana da fonti di calore, compresa la luce solare diretta.
Al riparo da urti e lontana da fonti di vibrazione.
Isolata dai forti campi magnetici prodotti da dispositivi elettrici.
In aree soggette a temporali, è consigliabile collegare il sistema ad un limitatore di corrente.
In caso di temporali, scollegare le linee di comunicazione dal modem.
Dotata di una presa a muro correttamente installata.
Dotata di spazio sufficiente ad accedere ai cavi di alimentazione, i quali rappresentano il
mezzo principale di scollegamento del sistema.
I server possono risultare troppo pesanti per essere sollevati o spostati da una sola persona.
Alcuni server devono dunque essere sollevati o spostati da due persone o da un assistente
tecnico.
