Place the component on the grounded antistatic mat with your hand wearing the antistatic wrist strap, to eliminate static electricity in advance of installation. Failure to take these antistatic measures might result in serious damage. SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 Servers Service Manual • October 2012...
Antistatic Precautions During normal operations, all components mounted in the server, including the dummy (filler) units, are properly grounded through the chassis. Prior to performing maintenance, ensure that any static electricity is discharged from the FRUs to be inserted and the person performing the maintenance. Both must be properly grounded.
