ESD Precautions
Follow these guidelines to ensure unrestricted airflow in the equipment:
■
Adhere to the minimum airflow clearance specifications.
■
Install the equipment so the front faces the cool aisle and the rear faces the warm aisle.
■
Do not direct warm air into the equipment.
■
Prevent recirculation of air within the rack.
■
When servicing equipment internal components, ensure that air ducts, baffles, and filler
panels are properly installed.
■
Route cables so they do not interfere with airflow.
If the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the
components can adversely affect the airflow and cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with
filler panels. See “Install a Filler Panel” on page 69 for installation instructions.

ESD Precautions
Take measures to prevent static electricity from being generated at the installation location.
Discharging static electricity from a finger or another conductor might damage static-sensitive
equipment installed in the rack.
To prevent electrostatic discharge:
■
Keep electrostatic-sensitive equipment in their antistatic packaging until they are installed in
the rack.
■
Always wear an antistatic wrist strap whenever installing or servicing rack equipment (see
“Attach an Antistatic Wrist Strap” on page 48 ).
■
Attach a chassis ground cable to the rack (for instructions, see “Servicing Grounding
Straps” on page 55 ).
