Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Static electricity, though harmless to you, can seriously damage
server components or options.
Note: When you are adding an internal option, do not open the
static-protective package containing the option until you are
instructed to do so.
When you handle options and other server components, take these
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity:
Ÿ
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to
build up around you.
Ÿ
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, the
processor board, and memory modules by the edges. Never
touch any exposed circuitry.
Ÿ
Prevent others from touching components.
Ÿ
When you are installing a new option, touch the static-protective
package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot screw
or other unpainted metal surface on the server for at least two
seconds. (This reduces static electricity from the package and
from your body.)
Ÿ
When possible, remove the option and install it directly into the
server without setting the option down. When this is not
possible, place the static-protective package that the option
comes in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it.
Ÿ
Do not place the option on the server's covers or any metal
surface.
