4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself
from harm and the system from damage:
z Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis
as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection
switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can
then quickly remove power from the system.
z Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
z Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing
or installing main system components, such as the serverboard,
memory modules and the CD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary
for SCSI drives). When disconnecting power, you should first power
down the system with the operating system and then unplug the
power cords of all the power supply modules in the system.
z When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who
is familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off
the power if necessary.
z Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical
equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will
cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools,
which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards
they come into contact with.
z Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have
been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
