Observing ESD and Handling Precautions
Caution -
Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to electrostatic-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.
■
Always hold the HBA by the metal enclosure.
■
Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its
protective antistatic bag.
