• While the device is still in its static-protective package, have the device be in contact to an unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the
package and from your body.
• Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without setting down the device.
If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the
device on the server top cover or on a metal surface.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity
and increases static electricity.
