available. If not, after you have disconnected power from the server and removed the cover, touch a bare
metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive before installing it.

other components inside the server.
4. Make sure the blanking plate is secure on the rear panel and replace the cover on the server.
