v Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server. v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server. v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches. v Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall into the server as you lean over it. v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins, or screws, into the server. Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. 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 printed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit 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 your server without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on a metal table. v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. Major components of the xSeries 255 Type 8685 server The orange color on components and labels in your server identifies hot-swap or hot-plug components. You can install or remove hot-swap or hot-plug components while the system is running, provided that your system is configured to support this function. The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on. The following illustration shows the major components in your server. Notes: 1. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. 2. The xSeries 255 server is also available as a floor-standing tower model that contains the same components as the rack model. The tower model also includes a door with a key lock on the front of the server and wheels on the bottom of the server for easier mobility. 42 xSeries 255 Type 8685: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention:
Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. 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 printed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit 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 your server without
setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your server cover or on a
metal table.
v
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Major components of the xSeries 255 Type 8685 server
The orange color on components and labels in your server identifies hot-swap or
hot-plug components. You can install or remove hot-swap or hot-plug components
while the system is running, provided that your system is configured to support this
function.
The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a
component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.
The following illustration shows the major components in your server.
Notes:
1.
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
2.
The xSeries 255 server is also available as a floor-standing tower model that
contains the same components as the rack model. The tower model also
includes a door with a key lock on the front of the server and wheels on the
bottom of the server for easier mobility.
