out on an arm to position documents next to the display. These can be
helpful in maintaining a healthy posture for using the workstation

Silicon Graphics designs and tests its products to be resistant to effects of
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is a source of electromagnetic interference
and can cause problems ranging from data errors and lockups to permanent
component damage.
While you are operating your Challenge deskside system, it is important
that you keep all the covers and doors, including the plastics, in place. The
shielded cables that came with the system and its peripherals should be
installed correctly, with all screws and slide locks fastened securely.
To ensure the proper function and/or data integrity in the front loading
devices (FLDs), electrostatic discharge precautions should be taken when
removing or replacing the FLDs. An ESD wrist strap should be used, along
with antistatic packaging materials, during FLD transport or storage.
