1.5 Other Precautions
Caution - Observe the following precautions to ensure the safety of the system.
  1. The printed boards in the SPARC M12-1 can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage to the printed boards, wear a wrist strap and ground it to the SPARC M12-1 prior to starting maintenance.
  2. If excessive force is applied to the motherboard unit, the components mounted on the printed boards could be damaged. When handling the motherboard unit, observe the following precautions:
    ▪ Handle the motherboard unit by holding it by the handle.

    ▪ When removing the motherboard unit from its packaging, keep it horizontal until you lay it on the cushioned ESD mat.

    ▪ Connectors and components on the motherboard unit have thin pins that bend easily. Therefore, do not place the motherboard unit on a hard surface.

    ▪ Be careful not to damage the small parts mounted on both sides of the motherboard unit.
  3. The heat sinks can be damaged by incorrect handling. Do not touch the heat sinks with your hands or other objects while replacing or removing motherboard units. If a heat sink becomes disconnected or is broken, obtain a replacement motherboard unit. When storing or carrying a motherboard unit, ensure that the heat sinks are sufficiently protected.
  4. When removing a cable such as a LAN cable, if you cannot reach the latch lock of the connector, use a flathead screwdriver to push the latch and release the cable. If you use force to remove the cable, the LAN port of the motherboard unit or a PCI Express (PCIe) card may be damaged.
  5. Do not use any power cords other than those specified.
  6. Check the appearance of the products before starting work. When unpacking them, confirm that no unit is deformed, no connector is damaged, and there are no other such defects.
    Do not mount the products that have a defect in the appearance. Mounting a product that has a defect in appearance may damage the SPARC M12-1.
