Preparing for Installation

WARNING:

•

Installation of the HP ProLiant BL p-Class OctalFC

Interconnect Modules and HP ProLiant BL p-Class Fibre

Channel Signal Conditioning Cards should be performed by

individuals who are both qualified in the servicing of

computer equipment and trained in the dangers associated

with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow

the internal system components to cool before touching.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the

precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or

handling parts. A discharge of stat

ic electricity from a finger or

other conductor may damage

system boards or other

static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life

expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following

precautions:

• Avoid hand contact by transpor

ting and storing products in

static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive part

s in their containers until they

arrive at static-free workstations.

• Place containers on a grounded surface before removing the

contents.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive

component or assembly.

Use one or more of the following methods when handling or

installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded

workstation or computer chassi

s. Wrist straps are flexible

straps with a minimum of 1 megohm

±10 percent resistance in

the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap

snug against the skin.

• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing

workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on

conductive floors or di

ssipating floor mats.

•

Use conductive field service tools.

• Use a portable field service kit wi

th a folding static-dissipating

work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper

grounding, have an HP authorized reseller install the part.
