System reliability guidelines To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met: v Each microprocessor socket always contains either a microprocessor heat-sink filler or a microprocessor and heat sink. If the blade server has only one microprocessor, it must be installed in microprocessor socket 1. v You do not operate the BladeCenter unit without a blade server, expansion unit, or filler blade installed in each blade bay to ensure proper cooling. See the documentation for your BladeCenter unit type for additional information. v The blade server battery must be operational. If the battery becomes defective, replace it immediately. For instructions, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide. Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage the blade 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 When you work on a BladeCenter unit that has an electrostatic discharge (ESD) connector use a wrist strap, especially when you handle modules, optional devices, or blade servers. To work correctly, the wrist strap must have a good contact at both ends (touching your skin at one end and firmly connected to the ESD connector on the front or back of the BladeCenter unit). 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 BladeCenter 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. v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server without setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade server cover or on a metal surface. v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. 16 BladeCenter HS21 Type 8853: Installation and User's Guide

System
reliability
guidelines
To
help
ensure
proper
cooling
and
system
reliability,
make
sure
that
the
following
requirements
are
met:
v
Each
microprocessor
socket
always
contains
either
a
microprocessor
heat-sink
filler
or
a
microprocessor
and
heat
sink.
If
the
blade
server
has
only
one
microprocessor,
it
must
be
installed
in
microprocessor
socket
1.
v
You
do
not
operate
the
BladeCenter
unit
without
a
blade
server,
expansion
unit,
or
filler
blade
installed
in
each
blade
bay
to
ensure
proper
cooling.
See
the
documentation
for
your
BladeCenter
unit
type
for
additional
information.
v
The
blade
server
battery
must
be
operational.
If
the
battery
becomes
defective,
replace
it
immediately.
For
instructions,
see
the
Problem
Determination
and
Service
Guide
.
Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
the
blade
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
When
you
work
on
a
BladeCenter
unit
that
has
an
electrostatic
discharge
(ESD)
connector
use
a
wrist
strap,
especially
when
you
handle
modules,
optional
devices,
or
blade
servers.
To
work
correctly,
the
wrist
strap
must
have
a
good
contact
at
both
ends
(touching
your
skin
at
one
end
and
firmly
connected
to
the
ESD
connector
on
the
front
or
back
of
the
BladeCenter
unit).
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
BladeCenter
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.
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
the
blade
server
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
down
the
device,
put
it
back
into
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
the
blade
server
cover
or
on
a
metal
surface.
v
Take
additional
care
when
you
handle
devices
during
cold
weather.
Heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
