Prevent ESD Damage
Many components housed within the chassis can be damaged by ESD. To protect these
components from damage, perform the following steps before opening the chassis for service.
1.
Prepare an antistatic surface to set parts on during the removal or installation
process.
Place ESD-sensitive components such as the printed circuit boards on an antistatic mat. The
following items can be used as an antistatic mat:
■
Antistatic bag used to wrap a replacement part
■
ESD mat
■
Disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or optional components)
2.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
When servicing or removing server components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then
to a metal area on the chassis.
