Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection:
ESD can damage
disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to chassis ground
any unpainted metal surface
on your server
when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards:
Always handle boards carefully. They can
be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide
board over any surface.
Installing or removing jumpers:
A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the stake pins on the board.
