CONTROLLING ACCESS TO COMPONENTS IN A SERVER HOUSING TO ENFORCE USE OF A GROUNDING STRAP |
| 摘要 |
A method includes sensing ambient conditions in a datacenter containing a server, and determining whether the ambient conditions exceed predetermined threshold conditions representing risk of electrostatic discharge. A lid to the server is locked in a closed position in response to the ambient conditions exceeding the predetermined threshold conditions. However, the lid to the server is unlocked in response to a grounding strap being connected to the server. Optionally, the grounding strap may be identified and the server lid will only unlock if the identified grounding strap is associated with authorization to unlock the server lid. |

1. A method, comprising:
sensing ambient conditions in a datacenter containing a server; determining whether the ambient conditions exceed predetermined threshold conditions representing risk of electrostatic discharge; locking a lid to the server in a closed position in response to the ambient conditions exceeding the predetermined threshold conditions; detecting whether a grounding strap is connected to the server; and unlocking the lid to the server in response to the grounding strap being connected to the server. |
