Intel® server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate
airflow for cooling. Intel's own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these
components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that
chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to
determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel
Corporation can not be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used
outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

Safety Information
iv Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E User Guide
Warnings
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the enclosure cover to access
components inside the storage system. Only a technically qualified person should
maintain or configure the storage system.
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your storage product, whether you are
using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety
instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and
maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the
described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products /
components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and
will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which
the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To
remove power from storage system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet or the chassis. 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 storage system and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the storage system 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 document
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface)
on your storage system when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. Do not touch the connector contacts.
After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the storage 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 pins on the board.
Reinstalling enclosure cover: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the
enclosure cover before turning on the storage system. Operating it without the enclosure
cover in place can damage system parts.
