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:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to
build up around you.
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, the
processor board, and memory modules by the edges. Never
touch any exposed circuitry.
Prevent others from touching components.
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.)
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.
Do not place the option on the server's covers or any metal
surface.
