Anti-static Measures
The server contains electronic components sensitive to static electricity. Avoid failures caused by static
electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.
Wear a wrist strap (an arm belt or anti-static glove)
Wear a wrist strap on your wrist. If no wrist strap is available, touch an unpainted metal part of the chassis
before touching a component to discharge static electricity from your body.
Also discharge static electricity by periodically touching a metal surface while working on the components.
Select a suitable work space
Work with the server on the anti-static or concrete floor.
If you work with the server on a carpet where static electricity is likely to be generated, be sure to take
anti-static measures beforehand.
Use a work table
Place the server on an anti-static mat to work with.
Clothing
Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.
Wear anti-static shoes.
Take off any jewels (a ring, bracelet, or wrist watch) before working with the server.
Handling of components
Keep any component in an anti-static bag until you actually install it to the server.
Hold any component by its edge to avoid touching any terminals or parts.
To store or carry any component, place it in an anti-static bag.
