•
Place components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat or
an antistatic bag.
•
Wear an antistatic grounding wrist strap connected to a metal surface on the
chassis when you work on system components.
Caution:
Equipment damage: Electrostatic damage can permanently disable the
system or require repair by authorized service technicians.
Before installing the server, read the safety information in
