Installation procedure Installation overview WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the installation. Some servers contain high energy, high circuits, moving parts (such as fan blades), or any combination of these hazards, that may be exposed if covers and access panels are removed while the product is powered.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning this procedure. For more information, see "Electrostatic discharge (on page 11)." To install the adapter: 1. Depending on the server model, open or remove the access panel. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them. 2.
4. If another HBA or controller is installed, disengage the captive screws and use the handle to remove the HBA or controller. IMPORTANT: Always close the HBA handle before installing the HBA. 5. Close the H210i HBA handle and then install the HBA. To properly seat the HBA, press firmly in the areas indicated on the HBA. Connecting the adapter Cabling configurations vary depending on the storage product. To cable this adapter to a storage product, see the documentation provided with the storage product.
Cables for connecting the adapter to other devices are provided with most HP server products. The adapter supports external Mini-SAS cables with lengths from 1 m to 6 m. All HP cables are keyed to ensure correct installation. For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin). At the website, choose the geographic region, and then locate the product by name or product category.
Electrostatic discharge Preventing electrostatic discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static 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: • Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Regulatory compliance notices Federal 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.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is 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.
