Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and•
after installation.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get•
caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll
up your sleeves.
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any•
conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential•
hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Disconnect all power by turning off the power and•
unplugging the power cord before installing or
removing a chassis or working near power supplies
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous•
conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a•
circuit; always check the circuit.
LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
Installation only by a trained electrician or only by•
an electrically trained person who knows all English
Installation and Device Specifications which are to
be applied.
Do not carry the handle of power supplies when•
moving to other place.
The machine can only be used in a fixed location•
such as labs or computer facilities.
Operating Safety
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air•
temperature may not be adequate to cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures without adequate
circulation. Be sure that the room in which you choose to
operate your system has adequate air circulation.
Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design•
allows cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis
permits air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow
of cooling air from internal components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled and can result in complete
or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention
procedures when removing and replacing components to avoid
these problems.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes•
good skin contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic•
strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms
(Mohms).
Rack Mounting Installation Environment Precaution
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed1.
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack2.
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
created due to uneven mechanical loading.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the3.
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to4.
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.

Hardware Setup
Preparing the Hardware Installation
To access some components and perform certain service
procedures, you must perform the following procedures
first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, electric shock, or damage to the
equipment, remove the power cord to
remove power from the server. The front
panel Power On/Standby button does not
completely shut off system power. Portions of
the power supply and some internal circuitry
remain active until AC power is removed.
Unpower the FW-8759 and remove the power cord.1.
Unscrew the screws (two on each side and one on the2.
rear) from the top cover of the FW-8759 System.
Slide the cover backwards and open the cover3.
upwards.
System Memory Installation
The motherboard supports DDR3/DDR3L memory that
features data transfer rates of 1066/1333/1600 MHz
(with unbuffered ECC or non-ECC) to meet the higher
bandwidth requirements of the latest operating system
and Internet applications. To install the memory:
Open the DIMM slot latches.1.
Install the DIMM.2.
Note:
All DIMMs installed must be the same speed1.
(DDR3/DDR3L 1066/1333/1600MHz, unbuffered
ECC or non-ECC ). Do not install DIMMs
supporting different speeds.
The system can support up to 8 GB in maximum.2.
Since the system is capable of dual channel3.
architecture, insert DIMMS on both DIMM1
and DIMM2 slots to enable dual channel
configuration.
Hard Disk Installation
The system can accommodate two 2.5”Serial-ATA disks.
Follow these steps to install hard disks into the FW-8759:
Unscrew the 4 screws on the hard disk tray to take out1.
the hard disk tray from the system.
Place hard disk on the hard disk tray and align the2.
holes of the hard disk with the mounting holes on the
tray.
Secure the hard disk with 4 mounting screws on the3.
hard disk tray.
Connect the Serial-ATA power and data cables to the4.
hard disk’s power and data connectors respectively.
Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the Serial-ATA Connector5.
on the main board.
Put the hard disk tray with the installed hard disk back6.
to the system and install it with the mounting screws.
