Preparing for Service 53
Antistatic Wrist Strap Use
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components
such as drive assemblies, circuit boards, or PCI cards. When servicing or removing
server module components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a
metal area on the chassis. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials
between you and the server module.
Antistatic Mat
Place ESD-sensitive components such as cards and DIMMs on an antistatic mat.
