2-5 General Safety Precautions
•Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.
•Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been
removed away from the system on a table so that they won’t accidentally be
stepped on.
•While working on the system, 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.
•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.
2-6 System Safety
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 sufcient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
•Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically designed
as electrical insulators.
•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
