in a Origin200 server:

Memory is extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe the following
precautions when installing and removing memory:
•
Handle the DIMMs by their edges only and do not touch the gold connector pads.
•
Handle DIMMs with care. Do not toss them roughly onto hard surfaces, such as
tables or other equipment.
•
Do not leave DIMMs loose inside the chassis while you work.
•
When you are not handling DIMMs for installation or removal, always keep them
in ESD containers, such as conductive bags or foam.
•
Save the ESD bags or containers in which the memory option was shipped in case
you need to remove the DIMMs from the system.
