• When replacing a hot-swap drive, install the new hot-swap drive as soon as possible.

• If your storage product has air ducts or air baffles, do not remove them while the storage product

is running. Operating the storage product without the air ducts or air baffles might cause the
microprocessor(s) to overheat.

• For storage products that support up to two microprocessors, ensure that the second microprocessor

socket always contains a microprocessor or is protected by a microprocessor socket cover.

Working inside the storage product with the power on

Attention:

Static electricity that is released to internal storage product components when the storage product is turned

on might cause the storage product to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem,
always use an ESD wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the storage product with the power on.

The storage product supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and
the cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside the storage product with the power on:

• Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside

the storage product; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the storage product.

• Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the storage product.

• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches.

• Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils. These items might fall into the storage

product as you lean over it.

• Avoid dropping any metallic objects into the storage product, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws.
