v
Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before
working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside
the server.
v
Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.
v
Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
v
Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall
into the server as you lean over it.
v Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins,
or screws, into the server.
Handling static sensitive devices
Static electricity, though harmless to you, can seriously damage server components
or options.
Note: When you are adding an internal option, do not open the static-protective
package containing the option until you are instructed to do so.
When you handle options and other server components, take these precautions to
avoid damage from static electricity:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
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.
