Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and the 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: v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed 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 part 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 it down. 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. System reliability considerations To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that: v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it. v If the server has only one symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) Expansion Module installed ensure that the SMP baffle is installed during normal operation. v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. v Do not leave open spaces above or below an installed server in a rack cabinet. To prevent damage to server components, always install a blank filler panel to cover the open space and to ensure proper air circulation. v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v You have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours. v You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal. v Microprocessor socket 4 always contains either a microprocessor baffle or a microprocessor and heat sink. 80 xSeries 445 Type 8870: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
