Server Warnings and Cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: · Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. · Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. · Unplug all the power cords from the power supplies to disconnect power to the equipment.
· · Shock Hazard! Disconnect all power supply cords before servicing. · Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular
attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING! This server is equipped with high speed fans. Keep away from hazardous moving fan blades during servicing.
WARNING! This equipment is intended to be used in Restrict Access Location. The access can only be gained by Skilled person. Only authorized by well trained professional person can access the restrict access location.
WARNING! The equipment should only be repaired, maintained or replaced by skilled personnel.
CAUTION! · Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in
this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. · Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. · Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. · Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly or with an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION! ESD CAN DAMAGE DRIVES, BOARDS, AND OTHER PARTS. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PERFORM ALL PROCEDURES AT AN ESD WORKSTATION. IF ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE, PROVIDE SOME ESD PROTECTION BY WEARING AN ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP ATTACHED TO CHASSIS GROUND — ANY UNPAINTED METAL SURFACE — ON YOUR SERVER WHEN HANDLING PARTS.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges without any component and pin touching. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
System power on/off: To remove power from system, you must remove the system from rack. Make sure the system is removed from the rack before opening the chassis, adding, or removing any non hot-plug components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system and discon-nect the cables attached to the system before servicing it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface on the server) when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensi-tive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with fin-gertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can dam-age the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function con-trolled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool used to remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.

Motherboard Components
Chapter 5 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the EFI on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters, loading the operating system etc. The BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <DEL> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
· BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter any problems when using the current BIOS version, it is recommended that you don’t flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.
· It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. (Refer to the Exit section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 4 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
