Protect Modules and Slots
To protect the modules, other components, and slots when installing components,
observe the following guidelines:
CAUTION:
When handling components, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to
one of the device's ESD grounding jacks, or to another grounding device. This action
helps to protect the module from damage by electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION:
Always handle a module by its edges. Do not touch the components, pins,
leads, or solder connections.
CAUTION:
If you meet strong resistance when attempting to seat a module using
the ejectors, remove it from the chassis and confirm that the slot is designed to hold
the module. Also, be sure that you have aligned the left and right edges in the correct
matching module guides.
CAUTION:
Be sure to cover every empty slot with a blank filler panel to protect the
device from dust or other foreign substances and to ensure proper device cooling.
CAUTION:
Do not discard the antistatic bag. When a module is not in use, store it
in an antistatic bag.
