1.5 Other Precautions
  1. The printed boards of the PCI expansion unit are susceptible to static damage. To prevent damage to the printed boards, wear a wrist strap and ground it to the chassis before starting maintenance.
  2. When mounting a component in the chassis, confirm that the connectors on the chassis and components do not have any bent pins and that the pins are aligned. If you attempt to mount a component while any of the connectors have bent pins, the chassis or component may be damaged. When mounting a component, perform the work carefully so as not to bend any pins.
  3. If you cannot reach the latch lock of the connector when removing the management cable or other cables, depress the latch with the tip of a flat-bladed screwdriver and then remove the cable. If you attempt to remove the cable forcibly, the link board and/or the PCI Express (PCIe) card may be damaged.
  4. Do not use a power cord other than the specified type.
  5. 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 server and PCI expansion unit.
