Safety
Before usin this information and the product it supports, be sure to read and understand the safety
information and the safety instructions, which are available at:
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/safety_documentation/pdf_files.html
To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment:
• Keep your work area and the server clean and clear of debris.
• Before openin the system cabinet, unplu the power cord.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION:
ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result in total or
intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing
components.
To prevent ESD dama e:
• Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the equipment end of the
strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
• Avoid touchin the adapter a ainst your clothin . The wrist strap protects components from ESD on the
body only.
• Handle the adapter by its bracket or ed es only. Avoid touchin the printed circuit board or the
connectors.
• Put the adapter down only on an antistatic surface such as the ba supplied in your kit.
• If you are returnin the adapter to Lenovo Product Support, put it back in its antistatic ba immediately.
If a wrist strap is not available, round yourself by touchin the metal chassis before handlin the adapter or
any other part of the computer.

Visual indicators
LEDs on ThinkSystem 4350 Series adapters provide a visual indication for the board hardware status. The
LED locations vary, and may be on the front of the board or back of the board (see Fi ure 1 “ThinkSystem
4350 Series LED locations” on pa e 4), and include DDR LEDs (also referred to as Flash-Based Write Cache,
or FBWC, LEDs) and status LEDs. The LED states are described in Table 2 “ThinkSystem 4350 Series Status
LEDs” on pa e 4.
Front panel brackets have three holes for the Heartbeat LED, Fault LED, and Crypto LED.
