Observe the following safety precautions when you are connecting or disconnecting any device.
Operation Safety
Important
•Any operation on this server must be conducted by certified or experienced engineers.
•Before operating your server, carefully read all the manuals included with the server package.
•Before using the server, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not
damaged. If any damage is detected, contact your dealer as soon as possible.
•To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets
and circuitry.
•Before opening the chassis panels, make sure all power cables are unplugged.
•Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes, place the server on a stable surface.
•If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact an authorized dealer.
•It is recommended that you wear gloves when assembling or dissembling the server to protect
from cuts and scrapes.
•When the server is powered on, heat sinks and the surfaces of certain IC devices may be hot. Do
not touch them. Check whether the fans are functioning properly.
Electrical Safety
Important
•Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and
all attached devices are unplugged.
•To prevent electric shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
•When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
•Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock
from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.

1230B0002001 About This Manual
iii
Caution
•This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for user’s safety. Use the power
cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electric shock.
Important
Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These devices are
wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. Take the following precautions:
•If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device.
•Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the
system unit.
•With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system.
•Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints
or pins.
•If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag. Lay it on the antistatic bag.
Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the
same time.
•Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.
Tools Required
You need a cross screwdriver or a flat screwdriver to install or remove the components in the server.

Regulatory Compliance Identification Numbers
For the purpose of regulatory compliance certifications and identification, this server board is assigned
a series number. This server series number can be found on the product label, along with the required
approval markings and information. When requesting certification information for this product, always
refer to this series number. This series number should not be confused with the marketing name or
model number.
Product Regulatory Compliance
Product Safety Compliance
The server board complies with the following safety requirements:
•IEC 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
•EN 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment Including Electrical Business
Equipment, European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization
(CENELEC)
•UL 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
•UL 94 Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices & Appliances
•GB4943 Safety of Information Technology Equipment
Worldwide Safety approvals can be supplied according to the requirements from Marketing or

Product EMC Compliance
This product has been tested and verified to comply with the following electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations.
Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many
electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and
are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into
two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may
reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are
those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (personal computers,
for example). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference
potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

1230B0002001 About This Manual
v
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class A devices do
not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the
label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.
Class B Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo—United States Only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
For questions regarding your product, please contact the supplier.
To identify this product, refer to the Part, Series, or Model number found on the product.
European Union Notice
Products with the CE Marking comply with both the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the
Low-Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European Community.
Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the following European Norms (in brackets
are the equivalent international standards):
•EN55022 (CISPR 22) — Electromagnetic Interference
•EN55024 (IEC61000-4-2,3,4,5,6,8,11) — Electromagnetic Immunity
•EN61000-3-2 (IEC61000-3-2) — Power Line Harmonics
•EN61000-3-3 (IEC61000-3-3) — Power Line Flicker
•EN60950 (IEC950) — Product Safety

Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel
brouilleur du Canada.

Take note of the following precautions before you install or remove any components on the server
board.
The server does not completely power off when the front panel power button is pressed. The button
toggles server power between On and Standby. In Standby, the server removes power from most
electronics and drives, while portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active.
To completely remove all power supplies from the system, disconnect the power cords from the
server.
Caution: Pressing the Power On/Off button to the Off position does not completely remove
system power. Some portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active.
Disconnect all power cords from the server to remove all power from the system.
To power off the server, please refer to “2.1.1 Power Off” in the Chassis User Manual.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, remove the power cord to
completely disconnect power from the system.
