A technician brings a replacement enterprise server into a warm, humid data center after it was transported in an unheated vehicle during sub-zero winter temperatures. Moisture immediately forms on the exterior of the chassis. Which of the following is the most appropriate environmental safety procedure to perform before connecting power to the device?
- Allow the server to acclimate to ambient room temperature until all internal moisture has evaporated.Cevap
- BAttach an ESD wrist strap to the chassis and immediately power on the server to let internal fan airflow dry the components.
- CUse a high-velocity thermal heat gun directed into the ventilation slots to rapidly warm up the internal circuit boards.
- DWipe down the external casing with concentrated isopropyl alcohol to strip surface water droplets.
Cevap
Allow the server to acclimate to ambient room temperature until all internal moisture has evaporated.
When cold electronic components are introduced to a warm, humid environment, moisture condenses on internal circuit boards. Allowing the hardware to acclimate unpowered until it reaches room temperature ensures all moisture evaporates safely, preventing short circuits upon powering up.
