As shown in Table 1-5, the server supports both 2.5” and 3.5” hard drives.
Special Notes:
The 3.5-inch HDD carriers support a hardware interface bracket that allows the use of
2.5-inch drives.
Drives can consume up to 17 watts of power each. Drives must be specified to run at a
maximum ambient temperature of 45ºC.
Not all SATA and SAS drives are supported. Contact your local SGI representative for a list
of supported hard drives.
Slimline Optical Drive Support
The system has support for a single optical drive. The optical drive is NOT hot-swappable. The
system power must be turned off to insert or remove the slimline optical drive.

Chapter 2
2. System Safety
This chapter describes basic safety precautions.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the RP2
system from damage, as follows:
• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's
emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident
occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
• Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing main system
components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and disk drives. When disconnecting
power, you should first power down the operating system first and then unplug the power cords.
The unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect two power supply cords before
servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the
power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making
a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools,
which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical
shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
• The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into
grounded electrical outlets.

2: System Safety
• Serverboard Battery
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down,
which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 2-1). This battery must be replaced only with the
same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer's instructions.

General Safety Precautions
007-5837-001 15
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the RP2 system clean and free of clutter.
The RP2 system might approach 100 lbs (45 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system,
two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.
Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from
the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned
shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling
fan.
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors
that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit
boards or areas where power is present.
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack
unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.
16 007-5837-001
2: System Safety
ESD Precautions
Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this
difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards.
The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is
made to protect your equipment from ESD:
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for
use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity
between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

It is also off when the system is powered off (S5) or in a sleep state (S1).
The power LED sleep indication is maintained on standby by the chipset. If the system is
powered down without going through the BIOS, the LED state in effect at the time of power
off is restored when the system is powered on until the BIOS clear it.
If the system is not powered down normally, it is possible the Power LED will blink at the
same time the system status LED is off due to a failure or configuration change that prevents
the BIOS from running.
