Electrical Safety

The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the boards.

When installing and maintaining the equipment, observe appropriate electrostatic safety precautions

to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.

When operating a device in an electrostatic sensitive area, you must take electrostatic-discharge

(ESD)-preventive measures. These include wearing ESD-preventive gloves, an ESD-preventive wrist

strap, and ESD-preventive clothes to avoid personnel injury or device damage.

To prevent damage to the device, pay attention to the following during operations:

Do not touch devices with bare hands because ESD from the human body may damage the

electrostatically sensitive elements on a board.

When dealing with the server or any of the internal components, wear an ESD-preventive wrist

strap, ESD-preventive gloves, and ESD-preventive suit.
