6.1 ESD Prevention
The static electricity released by the human body or conductors may damage the
mainboard or other electrostatic-sensitive devices. The damage caused by static
electricity will shorten the service time of the devices.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following:
●
Use the ESD floor (or ESD mat) and ESD chairs in the equipment room. Use
ESD materials for partition boards, screens, and curtains in the equipment
room.
●
All floor-standing electric devices, metal frames, and metal rack shells in the
equipment room must be directly grounded. All electric meters or tools on a
workbench must be connected to the common ground point of the
workbench.
●
Monitor the temperature and humidity in the equipment room. The heating
system may reduce the humidity and increases static electricity indoors.
●
Place the product in an ESD bag to avoid direct contact during transportation
and storage.
●
Before transporting electrostatic-sensitive components to a work area that is
not affected by static electricity, store them in their original packages.
●
Place the component on a grounded surface and then take it out of the
package.
●
Before installing or removing a server component, wear an ESD wrist strap
that is properly grounded.
●
During parts replacement, keep new components in ESD bags before
installation, and place removed components on conductive mats for
temporary storage.
●
Do not touch pins, wires, or circuits.
