SGI Virtu VN200 Overview
Warnings and Cautions
Read the following safety and warnings and cautions when operating your
SGI
Virtu VN200 cluster.
Warning: System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system
AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cord from
the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the
chassis, add, or remove any components. Failure to do so may result in serious injury
or death.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all replacement procedures on
an ESD-safe worksurface. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground or any unpainted metal
surface on your server when handling parts.
Caution: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold
boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from
the server, 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.
Caution: Do not place the node board on a conductive surface. A conductive surface can
damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting. Always place the node
board on an ESD-safe worksurface.
