Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
CAUTION:
Never remove the cover on the power supply. If you have a
problem with the power supply, have your system serviced.
Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Static electricity can seriously damage computer components and
optional devices.
Attention: When you are adding an internal option, do not open
the static-protective package that contains the option until you are
instructed to do so.
When you handle options and other computer components, take
these precautions to avoid damage from static electricity:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to
build up around you.
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters and
memory-module kits by the edges. Never touch any exposed
circuitry.
Prevent others from touching components.
When you are installing a new option, touch the static-protective
package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot screw
or other unpainted metal surface on the server for at least 2
seconds. (This reduces static electricity from the package and
from your body.)
When possible, remove the option and install it directly into the
server without setting the option down. When this is not
possible, place the static-protective package that the option came
in on a smooth, level surface and place the option on it.
Do not place the option on the server covers or other metal
surface.
