Anti-static measures
This product contains static-sensitive electronic components. Take the measures below to avoid a
failure caused by static electricity when installing or uninstalling any optional device.
 Wearing anti-static wrist strap or anti-static gloves
Wear a wrist strap on your wrist and connect the wire to the chassis. If there is no wrist strap,
touch an unpainted metal surface of the chassis connected to the ground to discharge static
electricity from your body before touching the component. Touch the metal part occasionally to
discharge the static electricity while working on the component.
 Checking the workplace
-
Work on an anti-static floor or concrete floor.
-
If you work on a place where static electricity is likely to be generated (e.g. carpet), be sure
to provide anti-static protection.

Using the work table
-
Place the server on a mat with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
 Clothing
-
Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.
-
Wear anti-static shoes.
-
Remove any kind of metal accessories such as a ring, bracelet or wrist watch.
 Handling of components
-
Keep the component in an anti-static bag until you install it to the product.
-
Hold the component by the edges to avoid touching any terminals or mounting parts.
-
Place the component in an anti-static bag when storing or moving it.
 Handling of cables
When connecting a cable (e.g., LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction
against the floor. Connecting the charged cable with an I/O device may cause damage to the
devices in the system. It is recommended to use a product such as electrostatic discharge kit to
eliminate the static charge before connecting the cable.
Installing and uninstalling the optional device
-
To avoid electric hazard and malfunction, be sure to turn off the power switch of the server
and unplug the power cord from the outlet before installing or uninstalling any optional
device.
-
The device contains static-sensitive electronic components. When installing or uninstalling
the optional device, wear an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist to avoid a failure caused by
the static electricity. To use the strap, connect the wire to the chassis.
