Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components. 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. 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 but is not required. For example, wear an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. 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 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 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 To remove the cover, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 17. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices (see "Turning off the server" on page 9). 3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords. 18 IBM xSeries 306m Types 8849 and 8491: User's Guide
