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 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 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 your 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. Server power features When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic is shut down; however, the server can respond to remote requests to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on (standby mode). Turning on the server Notes: 1. Turn on all external devices, such as the monitor, before turning on the server. 2. The power-on LED on the front of the server is lit when the server is on and while it is powering-up. 3. You can install a circular disk over the power-control button to prevent accidental manual power-off. Approximately 20 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active, and you can turn on the server and start the operating system by pressing the power-control button. The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways: v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart automatically when power is restored. v If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed in the server, the server can be turned on from the Remote Supervisor Adapter II user interface. v When you plug in your server for the first time, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the server. If your server was previously turned on, it must be properly turned off for the Wake on LAN feature to turn on the server. 34 IBM xSeries 225 Types 8649: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
