To re-install the top cover, set the cover on top of the chassis and slide the cover forward until

its front pins engage the front panel. Secure the cover to the rear of the chassis with the three

6-32 screws.

General Handling Precautions

ESD Precautions

Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid

damaging static-sensitive components when handling any

PC card or disk drive.

When the case of your server is open and its internal parts are exposed, do not touch

any internal part without first grounding yourself to the chassis.

Always wear a ground strap or work on an ESD-protective mat.
DO NOT remove components from protective packaging until you are properly

grounded.

Handle printed circuit boards by their edges or by the metal bracket.
Don’t touch any pin, contact, lead or component on the printed circuit boards.
Keep disk drives in their anti-static package until installed in the server.

Mechanical Concerns

Be careful when installing I/O cards into your system. Excessive force can damage the

PC boards, cables, hard drives or the motherboard.

Be sure each board is aligned with its slot in the mating connector before installing. Use

care to not flex any PC boards.

Interface cable connectors must be mated carefully. Use care to not bend any of the

pins. The connectors provided are keyed to prevent upside-down insertion.

Interface cables are fragile and must not be pinched. Ensure that their dress does not

restrict airflow from fans or heat sinks within the enclosure.

Prior to installation, keep disk drives stored in a foam-lined protective carton to protect

them from physical damage.
