9. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. Your system has ESD jacks on the front and on
the rear of the system as shown in the following figure. Plug the ESD wrist strap into the ESD jack.
Attention:
• Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD
jack, or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic
discharge from damaging your hardware.
• When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap
is used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric
shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging
and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of 5 seconds.
