Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Removing Power
Before performing most setup or maintenance tasks, ensure that power has been
removed from the system.
1. If the system is operating, use the operating system to power down, following
the on-screen prompts.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the
power cord and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply. If your system
has dual power supplies, remove the cords from both power supplies.
3. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.
