Electrostatic discharge prevention Static charges (voltage levels) occur when objects are separated or rubbed together. The voltage level of a static charge is determined by the following factors: • Types of materials • Relative humidity • Rate of change or separation Follow these precautions to minimize possible ESD-induced failures in the computer room: • Maintain recommended humidity level and airflow rates in the computer room. • Install conductive flooring (conductive adhesive must be used when laying tiles). • Use conductive wax if waxed floors are necessary. • Ensure that all equipment and flooring are properly grounded and are at the same ground potential. • Use conductive tables and chairs. • Use a grounded wrist strap (or other grounding method) when handling circuit boards. • Store spare electronic modules in antistatic containers.

Electrostatic discharge prevention
Static charges (voltage levels) occur when objects are separated or rubbed together. The voltage level of a
static charge is determined by the following factors:
•
Types of materials
•
Relative humidity
•
Rate of change or separation
Follow these precautions to minimize possible ESD-induced failures in the computer room:
•
Maintain recommended humidity level and airflow rates in the computer room.
•
Install conductive flooring (conductive adhesive must be used when laying tiles).
•
Use conductive wax if waxed floors are necessary.
•
Ensure that all equipment and flooring are properly grounded and are at the same ground potential.
•
Use conductive tables and chairs.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap (or other grounding method) when handling circuit boards.
•
Store spare electronic modules in antistatic containers.
Acoustic noise specification
The declared noise emission values for the HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis in accordance with ISO 9296 are
listed in the following table.

Detailed information on conformance to country Technical Regulations and certificates of conformance can
be found on the HP website (

The levels specified in the previous table are appropriate for dedicated computer room environments, not
office environments.
You must consider the acoustic noise specifications relative to operator positions within the computer room
when adding additional systems to computer rooms with existing noise sources.
You can reduce ambient noise level in a computer room using the following methods:
•
Dropped ceiling—Cover with a commercial grade of fire-resistant, acoustic rated, fiberglass ceiling tile.
•
Sound deadening—Cover the walls with curtains or other sound deadening material.
