Performing Electrostatic Discharge and Static Prevention
Measures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, such as the PCIe cards, hard drives, CPUs, and
memory cards, require special handling.

Using an Anti-static Wrist Strap

Wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling components such as disk drive assemblies, circuit
boards, or PCIe cards. When servicing or removing server components, attach an anti-static
strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the server chassis. If your wrist strap is equipped
with a banana connector, insert it into the grounding socket on the right-hand side of the chassis
front panel.
Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the server.

are included with customer-replaceable units (CRUs), field-replaceable units (FRUs), and
optional components.

Using an Anti-static Mat

In addition to wearing an anti-static wrist strap when handling components, create an ESD-free
work place by using an anti-static mat as a work surface and as a place to set ESD-sensitive
