Static-Sensitive Devices

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
static discharge.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging. When unpacking the board,
make sure the person handling it is static protected.
