Electrostatic Discharge
Hewlett-Packard systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this manual
to prevent component damage from static electricity.
Take these precautions:
• Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around system components.
• Treat all assemblies, components, and interface connections as static-sensitive.
• When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately from the system,
keep the accessories in their conductive plastic bags, until they are ready to be installed.
• Before removing or replacing any components, or installing any accessories in the system, select a work
area where potential static sources are minimized, preferably an anti-static work station.
• Avoid working in carpeted areas, and keep body movement to a minimum while installing accessories.
