v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the device for
at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your
body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server
without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it
back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade
server cover or on a metal surface.
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
