2-2 Sun Netra CP3250 Blade Server User’s Guide • April 2009
2.1 Safety and Tool Requirements
2.1.1 Equipment and Operator Safety
Refer to the Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems (816-7190) for
general safety information and to the Netra CP3250 Blade Server Safety and Compliance
Guide (820-5198) for specific safety information.
Read the following safety statements that are specific to the Sun Netra CP3250 blade
server carefully before you install or remove any part of the system.
Caution – Depending on the particular chassis design, operations with open
equipment enclosures can expose the installer to hazardous voltages with a
consequent danger of electric shock. Ensure that line power to the equipment is
disconnected during operations that make high voltage conductors accessible.
The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating
electronic systems and the general practice of Sun systems integration and
administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for hot-swap
operation, other components must not be subjected to such stresses. Work with
power connected to a shelf only when necessary, and follow these installation
procedures to avoid equipment damage.
This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) from
clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an
installation:
■ If possible, disconnect line power from the shelf when servicing a system or
installing a hardware upgrade. If the shelf cannot be placed on a grounded
antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical input
ground (usually connected to the shelf) and facility electrical service ground.
■ Use an antistatic wrist strap when performing the following tasks:
■ Removing a blade server from its antistatic bag
■ Connecting or disconnecting blade servers or peripherals
