This product contains static-sensitive electronic components. Follow this 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

- 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.

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
