Safety Information
For your protection, observe these safety precautions when setting up your equipment:
-
Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment and described in the documentation shipped with your system.
-
Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment and described in the Netra SPARC S7-2 Server Safety and Compliance Guide, Compliance Model No.: 9600.
-
Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the equipment's electrical rating label.
-
Follow the electrostatic discharge safety practices as described.
Safety Symbols
Note the meanings of these symbols that might appear in this document.
 | Caution - There is a risk of personal injury or equipment damage. To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, follow the instructions. |
 | Caution - Hot surface. Avoid contact. Surfaces are hot and might cause personal injury if touched. |
 | Caution - Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to personal health, follow the instructions. |
| Caution - The system supplies power to the cables even when the server is powered off. To avoid personal injury or damage to the server, you must disconnect power cords before servicing the cables. |
ESD Measures
ESD-sensitive devices, such as PCI cards, hard drives, and DIMMs require special handling.
| Caution - Circuit boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work environment can destroy the components located on these boards. Do not touch the components along their connector edges. |
| Caution - You must disconnect all power supplies before servicing any of the components that are inside the chassis. |
| Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the components to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you follow antistatic practices. |
Antistatic Wrist Strap Use
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components such as hard drive assemblies, circuit boards, or express modules. When servicing or removing server components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the chassis. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the server.
Antistatic Mat
Place ESD-sensitive components such as motherboards, memory, and other PCBs on an antistatic mat. These items can be used as an antistatic mat:
-
ESD mat
-
Antistatic bag used to wrap a replacement part, if turned inside out after removing the part and placed on an antistatic surface
-
A disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or optional system components)
