• Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. • Before you remove a blade server from the SBCE unit, you must shut down the operating system and turn off the blade server. You do not have to shut down the SBCE unit itself. • Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the blade server, or open or close a latch. System Reliability Considerations To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that: • Each of the blade bays on the front of the SBCE unit contains either a blade server, expansion unit or filler. • A removed blade server or filler is replaced within 1 minute of removal. • Each of the hard disk drive bays in the expansion unit contains either a hot-swap SAS hard disk drive or a filler. Handling Static-sensitive Devices Note: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your blade 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 printed 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 SBCE unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the device 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 on the blade server without setting the device down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your SBCE unit or on a metal surface. • Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. 40 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User's Guide

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide
•
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
•
Before you remove a blade server from the SBCE unit, you must shut down the
operating system and turn off the blade server. You do not have to shut down the
SBCE unit itself.
•
Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to
remove it from or install it in the blade server, or open or close a latch.
System Reliability Considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
•
Each of the blade bays on the front of the SBCE unit contains either a blade server,
expansion unit or filler.
•
A removed blade server or filler is replaced within 1 minute of removal.
•
Each of the hard disk drive bays in the expansion unit contains either a hot-swap SAS
hard disk drive or a filler.
Handling Static-sensitive Devices
Note:
Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your blade 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 printed 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 SBCE unit or any
unpainted
metal surface on any other grounded rack
component in the rack in which you are installing the device 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 on the blade server without
setting the device down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your SBCE unit or on a metal
surface.
•
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
