6.9 Upgrading Memory and Replacing Hot-Swap and LRU Components
6.9.1 Preventing Static Electricity
This section provides procedures for replacing all
Hot-Swappable and LRU components, including
procedures for replacing or adding system memory.
The components inside your computer are
extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known
as electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can
permanently damage electrostatic discharge-
sensitive components in your Server.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines
before opening the Server case:
1.
Turn off the
Server
and unplug the
power cord
before opening the case.
2.
Wear a
grounding wrist strap
and attach it to a
bare metal
part of the Server, workbench, or other
grounded connection.

3. Do not insert any object into the vent holes on the
case or the power supply. Touch a bare metal
surface on the back of the computer, a bare metal
surface on your workbench, or other grounded
object before handing DIMMs or other components.
Before working with computer components,
follow these guidelines:
Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted
floors, plastic, and packing foam.
