Anti-static Measures
The server contains electronic components sensitive to static electricity. Avoid failures caused by static
electricity when installing or removing any optional devices.
Wear a wrist strap (an arm belt or anti-static glove)
Wear a wrist strap on your wrist. If no wrist strap is available, touch an unpainted metal part of the chassis
before touching a component to discharge static electricity from your body.
Also discharge static electricity by periodically touching a metal surface while working on the components.
Select a suitable work space
−
Work with the server on the anti-static or concrete floor.
−
If you work with the server on a carpet where static electricity is likely to be generated, be sure to take
anti-static measures beforehand.
Use a work table
Place the server on an anti-static mat to work with.
Clothing
−
Do not wear wool or synthetic clothes.
−
Wear anti-static shoes.
−
Take off any jewels (a ring, bracelet, or wrist watch) before working with the server.
Handling of components
−
Keep any component in an anti-static bag until you actually install it to the server.
−
Hold any component by its edge to avoid touching any terminals or parts.
−
To store or carry any component, place it in an anti-static bag.
