ESD Precautions
Caution - Reliable earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rackmounted equipment. Pay
attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example,
use of power strips).
Caution - Mounted equipment: Do not use slide-rail-mounted equipment as a shelf or a
workspace.
ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. To prevent electrostatic
discharge (ESD) when you install or service the server:
■
Use a grounded antistatic wrist strap, foot strap, or equivalent safety equipment
■
Place components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat or an
antistatic bag
■
Wear an antistatic grounding wrist strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis when
you work on system components
Caution - Equipment damage: Electrostatic damage can permanently disable the system or
require repair by authorized service technicians.
Before installing the server, read the safety information in either the Oracle Server X7-2 Safety
and Compliance Guide or the Oracle Server X7-2L Safety and Compliance Guide and in the
Important Safety Information for Oracle's Hardware Systems.
