Handling static-sensitive devices

Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static
electricity.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your Storwize
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Indoor

Sound pressure

Attention: Depending on local conditions, the sound pressure can exceed 85
dB(A) during service operations. In such cases, wear appropriate hearing
protection.
