Guidelines to work inside the server with the power on.
Attention: Static electricity that is released
to internal server components when the server is powered-on might
cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data.
To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server
with the power on.
You might have to have the server turned on while the
cover is off, to look at LCD system information display panel or replace
hot swap components. Follow these guidelines when you work inside
a server that is turned on:
- Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button
long-sleeved shirts before working inside the server; do not wear
cuff links while you are working inside the server.
- Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
- Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting
wrist watches.
- Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils,
that could fall into the server as you lean over it.
- Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins,
and screws, into the server.
