Take Antistatic Measures
Preparing for Service 59
Take Antistatic Measures
1. Prepare an antistatic surface on which to set parts during removal and
installation.
Place electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive components such as the printed circuit boards on
an antistatic mat. The following items can be used as an antistatic mat:
■
An antistatic bag used to wrap a replacement part
■
An Oracle ESD mat (orderable item)
■
A disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or optional system
components)
2. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
When servicing or removing server components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then
to a metal area on the chassis. Then disconnect the power cords from the server.
Note -
An antistatic wrist strap is not included in the Ship Kit for the server. However, antistatic
wrist straps are still included with options and components.

Open the Server Fan Door
Servicing the server fan modules and other components located in the front of the server, such
as the front indication module, the DVD drive, and disk backplanes, requires that the fan door
be opened. It is also easier to remove the server top cover if you open the fan door first.
To open the server fan door, slide the fan door latches to the front of the server
and swing the door up to the open position.
