Antistatic Wrist Strap
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components such as hard
drive assemblies, circuit boards, or PCIe cards. When servicing or removing server 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.
