5 Electrical Safety Safet y Precautions Safeguards Observe the following safety precautions when you are connecting or disconnecting any devices. Operation Safety T ools Required Y ou need a Philips (cross) screwdriver and a flat screwdriver to install or remove the components in the server . ⢠Any operation on this server must be conducted by certified or experienced engineers. ⢠Before operating your server , carefully read all the manuals included with the server package. ⢠Before using the server , make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not damaged. If any damage is detected, contact your dealer as soon as possible. ⢠T o avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry . ⢠Before opening the chassis panels, make sure all power cables are unplugged. ⢠Avoid dust, humidity , and temperature extremes. Place the server on a stable surface. ⢠If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact an authorized dealer . ⢠It is recommanded that you wear gloves when assembling or dissembling the server to protect from cuts and scrapes. ⢠When the server is powered on, heat sinks and the surfaces of certain IC devices may be hot. Do not touch them. Check whether the fans are functioning properly . IMPORT ANT
6 Safet y Precautions Electrical Safety IMPORT ANT ⢠Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged. ⢠T o prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. ⢠When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device. ⢠Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials. This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user âÂÂs safety . Use the power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock. CAUTION Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. T ake the following precautions: ⢠If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device. ⢠Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system unit. ⢠With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system. ⢠Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or pins. ⢠If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time. ⢠Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage. IMPORT ANT

5 Electrical Safety Safet y Precautions Safeguards Observe the following safety precautions when you are connecting or disconnecting any devices. Operation Safety T ools Required Y ou need a Philips (cross) screwdriver and a flat screwdriver to install or remove the components in the server . ⢠Any operation on this server must be conducted by certified or experienced engineers. ⢠Before operating your server , carefully read all the manuals included with the server package. ⢠Before using the server , make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not damaged. If any damage is detected, contact your dealer as soon as possible. ⢠T o avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry . ⢠Before opening the chassis panels, make sure all power cables are unplugged. ⢠Avoid dust, humidity , and temperature extremes. Place the server on a stable surface. ⢠If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact an authorized dealer . ⢠It is recommanded that you wear gloves when assembling or dissembling the server to protect from cuts and scrapes. ⢠When the server is powered on, heat sinks and the surfaces of certain IC devices may be hot. Do not touch them. Check whether the fans are functioning properly . IMPORT ANT
6 Safet y Precautions Electrical Safety IMPORT ANT ⢠Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged. ⢠T o prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. ⢠When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device. ⢠Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials. This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user âÂÂs safety . Use the power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock. CAUTION Motherboards, adapters, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. T ake the following precautions: ⢠If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device. ⢠Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system unit. ⢠With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to a metal frame of the system. ⢠Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or pins. ⢠If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time. ⢠Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage. IMPORT ANT
