Compaq Technician Notes

WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Compaq should attempt to repair this

equipment. All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow only

subassembly/module level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual boards and

subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make

modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any

indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any

warranty.

vi Compaq NC6136 Gigabit Server Adapter User Guide

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and hazardous energy

levels, do not exceed the level of repair specified in these procedures. Because of the

complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at the

component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs could

create conditions that are hazardous.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

■If the system has multiple power supplies, disconnect power from the system by

unplugging all power cords from the power supplies.

■Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety

feature.

■Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at

all times.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of

clearance at the front and back of the computer.

CAUTION: The computer is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation,

plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded AC outlet only.

Chapter 2

Installing the Adapter

This chapter describes installation precautions, how to install the adapter, and how to attach the

fiber network cable.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the Safety

information and user documentation provided with your equipment before attempting the

installation.

Many servers are capable of producing energy levels that are considered hazardous. Users

should not remove enclosures nor should they bypass the interlocks provided for removal of

these hazardous conditions.

Installation of this adapter should be performed by individuals who are both qualified in the

servicing of computer equipment and trained in the hazards associated with products capable

of producing hazardous energy levels.

NOTE: Before removing the cover of your server, refer to the Compaq documentation for the proper

methods for installing a PCI card and avoiding electric shock hazards.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage components on the

adapter. This can make the adapter inoperable. In addition to the following information, see

Appendix B for more precautions.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

■Always properly ground yourself when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

■Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers.

■Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free

locations.

■Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

■Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
