Tools You May Need

Please refer to your HP NetServer documentation for the tools needed to open the

chassis. Usually a flat 1/4-inch screwdriver and a T15 Torx

driver is required. If

you need to set SCSI ID switches, a flashlight and a small metal pin, such as a

straightened paper clip, will be helpful. An antistatic kit (3M

8501/8502/8505

or equivalent) is strongly recommended.

CAUTION All HP NetRAID adapter cards are sensitive to static

electricity and can easily be damaged by improper handling.

Using a grounding strap is recommended. Read the following

information carefully before you handle the accessory:

• Leave the adapter card in the antistatic bag until you are

ready to install it.

• If possible, use an antistatic wrist strap and grounding

mat.

• Before you remove the adapter board from the bag, touch a

grounded, unpainted metal surface on the system to

discharge static electricity.
