Preparing for RAID160 SA Controller Installation
Chapter 456
WARNING To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, consult the safety information and user
documentation provided with your server before attempting
installation.
Many computers are capable of producing energy levels that are
considered hazardous. These computers are intended to be
serviced by qualified personnel trained to deal with those
hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any
interlocks that may be provided for the purpose of removing
these hazardous conditions.
CAUTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be
sure that you are properly grounded before continuing the installation
procedure. See Appendix D, “Electrostatic Discharge,” on page 159, for
ESD information.
The RAID160 SA controller contains electronic components that can
easily be damaged by small amounts of static electricity. To avoid
damage, follow these guidelines:
• Store the controller in its antistatic plastic bag until you are ready to
install it
• Work in a static-free area, if possible
• Handle the controller only by the edges. Do not touch electronic
components or electrical traces
• If you must lay the controller down, place it on a non-conductive mat
or surface
Before beginning installation, and without removing the RAID160 SA
controller from its antistatic bag, inspect the controller for any signs of
obvious damage, such as chipped or loose components. Contact HP if the
controller is damaged.
