SC502 Chassis Manual 2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SC502 from damage: • • • • • • • • Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system. Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
Chapter 2: System Safety • DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - This server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way. 2-5 • • • • • 2-6 General Safety Precautions Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.
SC502 Chassis Manual • • • • • • Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag. Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap. Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts. When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
