!
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection. ESD
can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We
recommend that you wear an antistatic wrist strap attached
to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on your
system when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards. Always handle boards carefully.
They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only
by their edges. After removing a board from its protective
wrapper or from the system, place it component-side up on a
grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if
available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over
any surface.
Access covers, proper cooling and airflow. For proper
cooling and airflow, always install access covers before
turning on the system. Operating it without the covers in
place can damage system parts.
Note: I/O boards are hot-pluggable. Installation does
not require shutting down the system.
