Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server. 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: • Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. • Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. • Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. • Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. • While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. • 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, place it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on a metal surface. • Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Moving the stabilizing feet When the four feet on the bottom of the server are in the stabilizing position, they provide additional stability. Complete the following steps to place the feet in the stabilizing position: 1. Place the server on its side. 2. Locate the release tab inside the foot; then, lift up on the tab.

Book Title
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention:
Static electricity can damage electronic devices, including your server. 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:
•
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
•
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
•
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
•
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
•
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from
the package and from your body.
•
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, place it back into
its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on a
metal surface.
•
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Moving the stabilizing feet
When the four feet on the bottom of the server are in the stabilizing position, they
provide additional stability.
Complete the following steps to place the feet in the stabilizing position:
1.
Place the server on its side.
2.
Locate the release tab inside the foot; then, lift up on the tab.
The following illustration shows the rear feet on the bottom rear of the server.
3.
Rotate the foot inward to the unlocked position; then, remove the foot from the
server.
