A field technician is assigned to clean heavy industrial dust and particulate buildup from the internal components of a server node deployed in a harsh manufacturing facility. To adhere to CompTIA safety standards regarding personal protection, static control, and hardware preservation, in what sequential order should the technician perform the steps for this maintenance procedure?
- 1Disconnect all power sources from the server node and transport the unit to a well-ventilated, designated maintenance bay while wearing a particulate respirator and eye protection.
- 2Connect the server chassis to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding system using an earth-grounded anti-static mat and bonding strap.
- 3Immobilize the internal cooling fan blades using non-conductive mechanical stops to prevent back-EMF generation.
- 4Displace dust from internal heatsinks and circuit boards using a specialized ESD-safe toner/dust vacuum or grounded compressed air unit.
- 5Wipe down external surfaces with a dry lint-free microfiber cloth and inspect all air intake filters before re-installing the node into the rack.
Cevap
The correct procedural sequence is: 1) Disconnect all power sources and transport the unit to a well-ventilated area while wearing PPE; 2) Connect the server chassis to an ESD grounding system; 3) Immobilize the internal cooling fan blades to prevent back-EMF generation; 4) Displace dust using a specialized ESD-safe vacuum or grounded compressed air unit; 5) Wipe down external surfaces with a lint-free cloth and inspect filters before re-installation.
The correct sequence prioritizes technician safety and power isolation first (disconnecting power, using PPE, and working in a ventilated area). Next, static safety is established by bonding the chassis to ground. Third, internal mechanical components (fans) are secured to prevent electrical generation from back-EMF. Fourth, specialized ESD-safe tools clear internal debris. Finally, surface finishing and filter inspection take place before restoring power.
