v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, the memory board, and
memory modules (DIMMs) by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.
v Prevent others from touching components.
v When you are installing a new option, touch the static-protective package
containing the option to a metal expansion-slot screw or other unpainted metal
surface on the server for at least two seconds. (This reduces static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
v
When possible, remove the option and install it directly into the server without
setting the option down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective
package that the option comes in on a smooth, level surface and place the
option on it.
v Do not place the option on the server’s covers or any metal surface.
