Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server 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
the 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.
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.
Changing switches on a jumper block: A Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch is a manual electric switch that is
packaged with others in a group within a switch block. DIP switches are an alternative to jumper blocks and
their main advantage is that they are quicker to change and there are no parts to lose. Use the tip of a
mechanical pencil with the lead retracted, a fine tipped screwdriver, or other fine tipped object to slide the
switch on or off. Take care to keep the tool used on the switch and not let it slip off and touch any part of
the server board otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Slide / Rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage to your computer or the components within it. ESD can occur
without the user feeling a shock while working inside the system chassis or while improperly handling
electronic devices like processors, memory or other storage devices, and add-in cards.
Intel recommends the following steps be taken when performing any procedures described within this
document or while performing service to any computer system.
•Where available, all system integration and/or service should be performed at a properly equipped ESD
workstation
•Wear ESD protective gear like a grounded antistatic wrist strap, sole grounders, and/or conductive shoes
•Wear an anti-static smock or gown to cover any clothing that may generate an electrostatic charge
•Remove all jewelry

7
•Disconnect all power cables and cords attached to the server before performing any integration or
service
•Touch any unpainted metal surface of the chassis before performing any integration or service
•Hold all circuit boards and other electronic components by their edges only
After removing electronic devices from the system or from their protective packaging, place them
component side up on to a grounded anti-static surface or conductive foam pad. Do not place electronic
devices on to the outside of any protective packaging
This product is not intended to be the sole source for any critical data and the user must maintain a verified
backup. Failure to do so or to comply with other user notices in the product user guide and specification
documents may result in loss of or access to data.
