2-2 Netra CP3260 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009
The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating
electronic systems and with the general practice of Sun systems integration and
administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for hot-swap
operation, other components must not be subjected to such stresses. Work with
power connected to a chassis only when necessary, and follow these installation
procedures to avoid equipment damage.
This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) from
clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an
installation:
■ If possible, disconnect line power from the equipment chassis when servicing a
system or installing a hardware upgrade. If the chassis cannot be placed upon a
grounded antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical
input ground (usually connected to the equipment chassis) and facility electrical
service ground.
■ Use an antistatic wrist strap when:
■ Removing a blade server from its antistatic bag
■ Connecting or disconnecting blade servers or peripherals
The other end of the strap lead should be connected to one of the following:
■ A ground mat
■ Grounded chassis metalwork
■ A facility electrical service ground
■ Keep blade servers in the antistatic bags until they are needed.
■ Place circuit blade servers that are out of their antistatic bags on an antistatic mat
if one is available. The mat must be grounded to a facility electrical service
ground. Do not place blade servers on top of an antistatic bag unless the outside
of the bag also has antistatic protective properties.
■ Remove a blade server from its antistatic bag only when wearing a properly
connected ground strap.
