Installation precautions
Before you remove or replace any component, we recommend that you
read the following sections. These sections contain important ESD
precautions along with pre-installation and post-installation instructions.
ESD precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the processor, disk drives,
mainboard, memory modules, and other notebook components. Always
observe the following precautions before you install a server component.
•
Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are
ready to install it.
• Do not touch the component pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Components with a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) assembly should
always be laid with the assembly-side down.
• Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the
computer before handling components. If a wrist strap is not available,
maintain contact with the computer throughout any procedure
requiring ESD protection.
• Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary
plastic assembly aids and foam packing.
