Chassis SC822 User's Manual Appendix C Backplane Specifications This appendix provides details about the BPN-SAS-823T(Q) backplane. C-1 Safety Guidelines ESD Safety Guidelines Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic bag. Handle the backplane by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. Put the backplane and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use. General Safety Guidelines Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components from the computer, including the backplane. Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the backplane. Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
