12. 4 1 Electrical Safety Precautions A Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the 4021M 32R from damage 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 Do not work alone when working with high voltage components Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing main system components such as the serverboard memory modules and the DVD ROM and floppy 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 units in the system 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 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 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 i
13. do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present 4 2 Chapter 4 System Safety After accessing the inside of the system close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made 4 3 ESD Precautions A Electrostatic discharge ESD is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge Keep all components and printed circuit boards PCBs in their antistatic bags until ready for use Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap Handle a board by its edges o
