Selecting a workplace
Before performing server maintenance, select a workplace that is as free of dust as
possible.
The ambient temperature and relative humidity should range between 50°F to 95°F
(10°C to 35°C) and 30% to 80%. Avoid exposing the server to drastic temperature
fluctuations that could cause condensation.
Never install or remove devices in a static-inducing environment (on a carpet, for
example). Electronic devices can fail if they are exposed to electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Working safely
Make sure you read and understand the instructions and precautions in this guide
before performing server maintenance.
Perform the steps in each procedure in the order written.
Before disconnecting any cables, note their positions to make sure you can reconnect
them correctly.
Check cable connectors for broken or bent pins. If a cable connector has screws,
tighten the screws when securing the cable.
If a failure occurs, consult your authorized Toshiba Magnia service provider.
CAUTION: Internal server components can be seriously damaged by static
electricity. Wear a wrist or heel ground cable to discharge static electricity carried on
your body. If such equipment is not available, touch a grounded metal object to
discharge static electricity before working on sensitive electronic components.
Once you remove a device from its antistatic package, place the antistatic package
and the device on a flat, grounded surface. Store the antistatic package for future
use.
To prevent static build-up, never drag the server when moving it.
