Observing ESD and Handling Precautions
Caution -
Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of improper handling or electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to electrostatically
sensitive components.
To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, use both a workstation antistatic mat and
an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or
from Oracle as part number 250-1007. Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related
problems:
■
Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.
■
Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection
when handling the HBA, and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.
