• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent electrostatic discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle each printed circuit board (PCB) by the edges; do not touch the components,
peripheral chips, memory modules, or gold contacts on the PCB.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching the pins.
• Store PCIe cards, or other boards and components in antistatic bags when not in use.
• Make sure your computer chassis provides a conductive path between the power supply, the
case, the mounting fasteners, and the node board to chassis ground.
Caution: System options are shipped in anti-static packaging to avoid electrostatic discharge
damage. Be sure to use ESD precautions when you unpack upgrade or replacement components
for the C1104-GP2/C1110-GP2 server. Failure to do so can result in damage to the equipment.
