on the computer. Operating the computer for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the computer cover removed might damage computer components. v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible. Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage the computer and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them. Notes: 1. If you are instructed to return a device or component, follow all packaging instructions. Use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you. 2. Use product-specific electrostatic-discharge procedures when they exceed the requirements that are specified in this document. 3. Make sure that the electrostatic-discharge-protective devices that you use have been certified (ISO-9000) as fully effective. 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. 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 computer 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 computer 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 computer cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. 30 IBM IntelliStation Z Pro Type 9228: User's Guide
