Handling the Server Module
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) when you install the Sun Blade server module.
Caution –
To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can
permanently disable the system or require repair by Sun service technicians, place
components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic
bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to
a metal surface on the chassis when you work on system components.
