Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to
any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The
following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.
CAUTION
n
Be sure that the appliance is properly grounded to the chassis
ground through the AC power cord or enclosure frame.
n
Touch a grounded metal object before removing drive from the
antistatic bag.
n
Handle drive by its edges only; do not touch components on
the bottom.
CAUTION
Removal of any drive that does not have a red light during this
procedure, or during the REBUILD will result in system failure.
WARNING
Disk drives are static sensitive devices. Please make proper use
of the wrist strap included in the disk FRU kit.
