Safety Instructions Safety Instructions 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” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes. Always use caution when handling/operating a computer.
Safety Instructions When Working Inside a Computer Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps: 1. Turn off the computer and any peripherals. 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.
Safety Instructions remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging. Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation.

Preface turning it on. Failure to do so may cause damage to internal components, particularly the hard disk drive. Humidity High-humidity can cause moisture to enter and accumulate in the system. This moisture can cause corrosion of internal components 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.
Preface Line conditioners keep a system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection, line conditioners cost more than surge protectors. However, line conditioners cannot protect against a complete loss of power. Uninterruptible Power Supply Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems offer the most complete protection against variations on power because they use battery power to keep the server running when AC power is lost.
