System

reliability

guidelines

To

help

ensure

proper

cooling

and

system

reliability,

make

sure

that

the

following

requirements

are

met:

v

Each

of

the

drive

bays

has

a

drive

or

a

filler

panel

and

electromagnetic

compatibility

(EMC)

shield

installed

in

it.

v

If

the

server

has

redundant

power,

each

of

the

power-supply

bays

has

a

power

supply

installed

in

it.

v

There

is

adequate

space

around

the

server

to

allow

the

server

cooling

system

to

work

properly.

Leave

approximately

50

mm

(2.0

in.)

of

open

space

around

the

front

and

rear

of

the

server.

Do

not

place

objects

in

front

of

the

fans.

For

proper

cooling

and

airflow,

replace

the

server

cover

before

you

turn

on

the

server.

Operating

the

server

for

extended

periods

of

time

(more

than

30

minutes)

with

the

server

cover

removed

might

damage

server

components.

v

You

have

followed

the

cabling

instructions

that

come

with

optional

adapters.

v

You

have

replaced

a

failed

fan

within

48

hours.

v

You

have

replaced

a

hot-swap

drive

within

2

minutes

of

removal.

v

You

do

not

operate

the

server

without

the

air

baffles

installed.

Operating

the

server

without

the

air

baffles

might

cause

the

microprocessors

to

overheat.

Working

inside

the

server

with

the

power

on

Attention:

Static

electricity

that

is

released

to

internal

server

components

when

the

server

is

powered-on

might

cause

the

server

to

halt,

which

could

result

in

the

loss

of

data.

To

avoid

this

potential

problem,

always

use

an

electrostatic-discharge

wrist

strap

or

other

grounding

system

when

you

work

inside

the

server

with

the

power

on.

You

might

be

instructed

to

turn

on

the

server

while

the

cover

is

off,

to

look

at

system-board

LEDs.

Follow

these

guidelines

when

you

work

inside

a

server

that

is

turned

on:

v

Avoid

wearing

loose-fitting

clothing

on

your

forearms.

Button

long-sleeved

shirts

before

you

work

inside

the

server;

do

not

wear

cuff

links

while

you

are

working

inside

the

server.

v

Do

not

allow

your

necktie

or

scarf

to

hang

inside

the

server.
