v Do not drop any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws, into the server. Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Removing the cover Attention: Operating the server for more than 2 minutes with the top cover removed might damage server components. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the top cover before you turn on the server. To remove the cover, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 9. 2. If you are planning to install or remove a microprocessor, memory module, PCI adapter, or tape drive, turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords (see "Turning off the server" on page 37). 3. Press down on the left and right side latches and pull the server out of the rack enclosure until both slide rails lock. Note: You can reach the cables on the back of the server when the server is in the locked position. Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 11

Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
the
server
and
other
electronic
devices.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
static-sensitive
devices
in
their
static-protective
packages
until
you
are
ready
to
install
them.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
damage
from
electrostatic
discharge,
observe
the
following
precautions:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
The
use
of
a
grounding
system
is
recommended.
For
example,
wear
an
electrostatic-discharge
wrist
strap,
if
one
is
available.
Always
use
an
electrostatic-discharge
wrist
strap
or
other
grounding
system
when
working
inside
the
server
with
the
power
on
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
exposed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
damage
it.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
static-protective
package,
touch
it
to
an
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
outside
of
the
server
for
at
least
2
seconds.
This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
the
server
without
setting
down
the
device.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
down
the
device,
put
it
back
into
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
the
server
cover
or
on
a
metal
surface.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather.
Heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
Removing
the
cover
Attention
:
Operating
the
server
for
more
than
2
minutes
with
the
top
cover
removed
might
damage
server
components.
For
proper
cooling
and
airflow,
replace
the
top
cover
before
you
turn
on
the
server.
To
remove
the
cover,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
v
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
9.
2.
If
you
are
planning
to
install
or
remove
a
microprocessor,
memory
module,
PCI
adapter,
or
tape
drive,
turn
off
the
server
and
all
attached
devices
and
disconnect
all
external
cables
and
power
cords
(see
“Turning
off
the
server”
on
page
37).

right
side
latches
