Anti-static Measures
The CPU blade contains electronic components sensitive to static electricity. Avoid failures caused by static
electricity when installing or removing any devices.
● Wear a wrist strap (an arm belt or anti-static glove).
Wear a wrist strap on your wrist. If no wrist strap is available, touch an unpainted metal part of the cabinet
before touching a component to discharge static electricity from your body.
Touch a metal part regularly when working with components to discharge static electricity.
● Select a suitable work space.
–
Work with the CPU blade on the anti-static or concrete floor.
–
When you work with the CPU blade on a carpet where static electricity is likely to be generated,
make sure take anti-static measures beforehand.
● Use a work table.
Place the CPU blade on an anti-static mat to work with it.
● Cloth
–
Do not wear a wool or synthetic cloth to work with the CPU blade.
–
Wear anti-static shoes to work with the CPU blade.
–
Take off any jewels (a ring, bracelet, or wrist watch) before working with the CPU blade.
● Handling of components
–
Keep any component in an anti-static bag until you actually install it to the CPU blade.
–
Hold a component by its edge to avoid touching any terminals or parts.
–
To store or carry any component, place it in an anti-static bag.
