Take Antistatic Measures
Take Antistatic Measures
1.
Prepare an antistatic surface on which to set parts during removal and
installation.
Place electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive components on an antistatic mat. The following
items can be used as an antistatic mat:
■
An antistatic bag used to wrap a replacement part
■
An Oracle ESD mat (orderable item)
■
A disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or optional system
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. Then perform procedures for servicing the server.
Note - An antistatic wrist strap is not included in the Accessory Kit for the server. However,
antistatic wrist straps might be included with options and components.

Ensure that AC power cords are disconnected from the server power supplies.

to be disconnected from the server power supplies.
