Preparing for Installation
Caution – Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to
electrostatic sensitive components.
To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, Sun strongly recommends using
both a workstation antistatic mat and an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist
strap from any reputable electronics store or from Sun as part number #250-1007.
Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:
Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.
■
Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD
■
protection when handling the HBA and observe proper ESD grounding
techniques.
Hold the HBA by the edge of the PCB or mounting bracket, not the connectors.
■
Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out
■
of its protective antistatic bag.
