ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded antistatic
wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent electrostatic damage when you
install or service the server.
Caution - To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can permanently
disable the server or require repair by service technicians, place components on an antistatic
surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable antistatic mat.
Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when you work
on server components.
