Warnings

Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and

the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory

modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are inconsistent

with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact

the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets

safety and regulatory requirements.

Cautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the

described procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is

available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic

wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.

Preface

Installation Recommendations

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get

into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small

components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally

damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow

require only a few simple tools, including the following:

▪A Philips screwdriver

▪A flat-tipped screwdriver

▪A grounding strap

▪An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended

that you do not use needle-nose pliers to disconnect connections as these

can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Safety Information

Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:

▪Read all instructions carefully.

▪Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.

▪Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual.

▪When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts

specified by the manufacturer.

▪Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating

device.

▪The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the

rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly

necessary in order to provide balance stability.

▪The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit.

There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace

only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

ChaPter 2: JumPers and ConneCtors

This chapter lists the locations of the jumpers and connectors for the

NDiS B537 series.

Before You Begin

▪Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can

get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep

small components separated.

▪Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally

damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow

require only a few simple tools, including the following:

– A Philips screwdriver

– A flat-tipped screwdriver

– A set of jewelers screwdrivers

– A grounding strap

– An anti-static pad

▪Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is

recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect

connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the

connectors.

▪Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off.

Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching

a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic

components. Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than

dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of

static electricity exists.

Precautions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by

discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are still connected

to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.

Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:

▪Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are

working inside the case.

▪If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the

computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching

the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any

other grounded appliance.

▪Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the

components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or

stress the circuit board.

▪Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped

with until they are ready for installation.

▪Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
