Anti-static Measures

This product contains static-sensitive electronic components. Follow the measures below to avoid a failure
caused by static electricity when installing or uninstalling any optional device.

Wearing Anti-static Wrist Strap Or Anti-static Gloves
Wear a wrist strap on your wrist and connect the wire to the chassis. If there is no wrist strap, touch an
unpainted metal surface of the chassis connected to the ground to discharge static electricity from your
body before touching the component. Touch the metal part occasionally to discharge the static electricity
while working on the component.

Checking the Workplace
 Work on an anti-static floor or concrete floor.
 If you work on a place where static electricity is likely to be generated (e.g. carpet), be sure to provide
anti-static protection.

Using the Work Table
Place the server on a mat with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection.

Clothing
 Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.
 Wear anti-static shoes.
 Remove any kind of metal accessories such as a ring, bracelet or wrist watch.

Handling of Components
 Keep the component in an anti-static bag until you install it to the server.
 Hold the component by the edges to avoid touching any terminals or mounting parts.
 Place the component in an anti-static bag when storing or moving them.

Handling of Cables
When connecting a cable (e.g., LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction against
the floor.Connecting the charged cable with an I/O device may cause damage to the devices in the
system. It is recommended to use a product such as electrostatic discharge kit to eliminate the static
charge before connecting the cable.

Installing and Uninstalling the Optional Device
 To avoid electric hazard and malfunction, be sure to turn off the power switch of the server and unplug
the power cord from the outlet before installing or uninstalling any optional device. If the device is
hot-swappable, you do not need to turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord.
 The device contains static-sensitive electronic components. When installing or uninstalling the
optional device, wear an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist to avoid a failure caused by the static
electricity. To use the strap, connect the wire to the chassis.
