Installation precautions
Before you install any system component, we recommend that you
read the following sections. These sections contain important ESD
precautions along with preinstallation and post-installation
instructions.
ESD precautions
When installing or removing system components, perform such
procedures only at an electrostatic discharge (ESD) workstation,
because the server components can be extremely sensitive to ESD. If no
such station is available, you can reduce the risk of ESD damage by
doing the following:
•
Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until
you are ready to install it.
•
Touch the metal on the server chassis before touching the server
components.
•
Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the
server before handling components.
•
If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the metal
chassis throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection to
dissipate the static charge while handling the components.
•
Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
•
Hold the server components (especially boards) only by the edges.
•
Place the server components on a grounded, static-free surface.
Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the component
wrapper.
•
Do not slide the components over any surface.
