Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage the BBUs and the

Always ground yourself and/or use a ground strap before
touching the RAID controller or the BBU. Perform all
installation work at an ESD-safe workstation that meets the
requirements of EIA-625—"Requirements for Handling
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices." Follow the
ESD-recommended practices in the latest revision of IPC-
