5: Advanced Severboard Setup
ESD Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent electrostatic discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle each printed circuit board (PCB) by the edges; do not touch the components,
peripheral chips, memory modules, or gold contacts on the PCB.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching the pins.
• Place the node board, expansion PCI cards, or other boards and components into antistatic
bags when not in use.
• Make sure your computer chassis provides a conductive path between the power supply, the
case, the mounting fasteners, and the node board to chassis ground.
Unpacking
Caution: The node board is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrostatic discharge
damage. Be sure to use ESD precautions when you unpack replacement components for the SGI
Rackable C2108-TY10 server. Failure to do so can result in damage to the equipment.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1 for the pin
locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red
wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects to the Control Panel PCB
board, located just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis.
