to personal health, follow the instructions.
Electrostatic Discharge Safety
Devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), such as the motherboard, PCIe
cards, drives, processors, and memory DIMMs require special handling.
Caution:
The boards and drives contain electronic components that are extremely sensitive
to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work
environment can destroy components. Do not touch the components along their
connector edges.
Do the following when handling ESD-sensitive components:
•
Use an antistatic wrist strap.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap when handling components such as drive assemblies,
boards, or cards. When servicing or removing server components, disconnect the power
cords from the server. Attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and to a metal area on the
chassis. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the
server.
