Before You Begin
Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the
following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal
safety. Refer to the “Advisories” sectionin the Preface for advisoryconventions used
inthis user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important
Notes, and Notes.
Always use caution when handling/operating a computer. Only qualified,
experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the
interior ofa computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and
energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm.
Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the
installation instructions in this user’s guide forprecautions and procedures.
If you have anyquestions,please contact our Post-Sales Technical
Support.
Access canonlybe gained byservice persons or by users who have
been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the
location and aboutany precautions that shall be taken; and access is
through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security,
and is controlled byauthority responsible for the location.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into
an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then
disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off
the system power switch does not remove power to components.
When Working Inside a Computer
Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer and anyperipherals.

Preface
5
OPM Series User’s Manual
2. Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources or
subsystems to prevent electric shock or system board damage. This does not
apply when hot swapping parts.
3. Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge”on the
following page.
4. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
In addition, take note of these safetyguidelines when appropriate:
To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after
turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system
board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop,
not onthe cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you
are disconnecting this type of cable, press inon the locking tabs before
disconnecting the cable.As you pull connectors apart, keep themevenly
aligned to avoid bending anyconnector pins.Also,before connecting a cable,
make sure both connectors are correctlyoriented and aligned.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this user’s guide.
Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at anESD workstation
and follow properESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. We
stronglyencourage you to follow proper ESD procedure, whichcan include wrist
straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.
Youcanalso takethe following steps to prevent damage fromelectrostatic
discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component’s antistatic packing material until youare readyto install
the component ina computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,
be sure youare atan ESD workstationor grounded. This will discharge any
static electricity that may have built up in your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it inanantistatic container
or packaging.

Preface

OPM Series User’s Manual
Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. Ifpossible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
Handle components and boards withcare. Don’t touch the components or
contacts ona board. Hold a board byits edges orby its metal mounting bracket.
Do not handle or store systemboards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.
Instructions for Lithium Battery
WARNING
Danger of explosion when battery is replaced with incorrect type. Only replace
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries indomestic waste. Dispose of the battery
according to the local regulations dealing with the disposalof these special
materials (e.g. to the collecting points for disposalof batteries)

Regulatory Compliance Statements
This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class B devices.
FCC Compliance Statement:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 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 residentialinstallations. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequencyenergy, and if not
installed and used inaccordance 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
interference to radio or television equipment reception, whichcanbe determined by
turning the equipmentoff and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference byone or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment to anoutlet on a circuit different from that to which the

Preface

receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or anexperienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by us could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
The assembler of a personal computer system may be required to test the system
and/or make necessary modifications if a system is found to cause harmful
interference or to be noncompliant with the appropriate standards for its intended use.
Maintaining Your Computer
Environmental Factors
Temperature
The ambient temperature within an enclosure maybe greater than room
ambient temperature. Installationinan enclosure should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operationis not compromised.
Considerationshould be given to the maximumrated ambient temperature.
Overheating can cause a varietyof problems, including premature aging and
failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices.
If the system has been exposed to abnormallycold temperatures, allow a
two-hour warm-up period to bring it up to normaloperating temperature before
turning it on. Failure to do so maycause damage to internalcomponents,
particularly the hard disk drive.
Humidity
High-humiditycan cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system.This
moisture cancause corrosion of internalcomponents and degrade such
properties as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. Extreme moisture
buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause
serious damage to the system.
Buildings in which climate is controlled usuallymaintain anacceptable level of
humidity for system equipment. However,if a system is located inan unusually
humid location, a dehumidifier canbe used to maintain the humidity withinan
acceptable range. Refer to the “Specifications” section of this user’s guide for

Preface

OPM Series User’s Manual
the operating and storage humidityspecifications.
Power Protection
The greatest threats to a system’s supply of power are power loss, power spikes,
and power surges caused byelectrical storms, whichinterrupt systemoperation
and/or damage systemcomponents. To protect your system, always properly
ground powercables and one of the following devices.
Surge Protector
Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level
of protection proportional with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent
voltage spikes from entering a system through theAC power cord.Surge
protectors, however, do not offer protectionagainst brownouts, whichoccur
when the voltage drops more than20 percent below the normalAC line voltage
level.
Line Conditioner
Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protectionof surge protectors.
Line conditioners keep a system’sAC power source voltage at a fairlyconstant
leveland, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection,
line conditioners cost more thansurge protectors. However, line conditioners
cannot protect against a complete loss of power.
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Uninterruptible power supply(UPS) systems offer the mostcomplete protection
against variations onpower because they use battery power to keep the server
running whenAC power is lost. The batteryis charged bythe AC power while it
is available, so whenAC power is lost, the battery canprovide power to the
system for a limited amount of time, depending on the UPS system.
UPS systems range in price froma few hundred dollars to several thousand
dollars, withthe more expensive unit s allowing you to run largersystems for a
longer period of time whenAC power is lost. UPS systems thatprovide only5
minutes of battery power let youconduct anorderlyshutdown of the system,
but are not intended to provide continued operation.Surge protectors should be
used withall UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) safetyapproved.
