ESD protection
CAUTION:
Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Follow all appropriate anti-static procedures to prevent damage to your equipment or components.
►
To prevent ESD damage:
Use the anti-static wrist-strap shipped with Unity whenever you are performing maintenance on the Unity
Storage System.
Figure 1-1: Using the anti-static wrist strap
Before touching components with your hands or with any tools, and before removing any components from
their anti-static bags, ground any electrostatic charge from your person by touching a grounded metal
object.
Handle printed circuit boards by their edges only. Do NOT touch any of a board’s components, chips,
modules, or contacts.
When handling replaceable components, do NOT touch any exposed pins or contacts.
Place components and modules into their anti-static bags when they are not in use.
