Safety Requirements

Refer to the following documents for safety information:

• Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems (821-1590) for general safety information.

• Sun Netra CP3270 ATCA Blade Server Safety and Compliance Guide (821-0079) for blade server safety information.

Read the following safety statements that are specific to the blade server carefully before you install or remove any part of the system.

---

Caution - Depending on the particular chassis design, operations with open equipment enclosures can expose the installer to hazardous voltages with a consequent danger of electric shock. Ensure that line power to the equipment is disconnected during operations that make high-voltage conductors accessible.

The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating electronic systems and the general practice of Oracle systems integration and administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for hot-swap operation, other components must not be subjected to such stresses. Work with power connected to a shelf only when necessary, and follow these installation procedures to avoid equipment damage.

This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge from clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an installation:

• If possible, disconnect line power from the shelf when servicing a system or installing a hardware upgrade. If the shelf cannot be placed on a grounded antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical input ground (usually connected to the shelf) and facility electrical service ground.

• Use an antistatic wrist strap when performing the following tasks:

  • Removing a blade server from its packaging

  • Connecting or disconnecting blade servers or peripherals

  The other end of the antistatic wrist strap lead should be connected to one of the following:

  • A ground mat

  • The chassis metal as a ground

  The grounded mat or the chassis must be connected to a facility ground to prevent a floating ground.

• Remove a blade server from its packaging only when wearing a properly connected ground strap.

• Place blade servers on an antistatic mat if one is available, and the mat is grounded to a facility electrical service ground. Do not place blade servers on top of packaging.
