Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the BladeCenter chassis for at least two seconds. (This drains static
electricity from the package and from your body.)
v
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your BladeCenter
unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in
its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your BladeCenter
chassis or on a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
