ESD Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wrist strap, foot strap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent ESD when
you install the server module.
Caution – To protect electronic components from ESD, which can permanently
disable the system, 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
system components.
The following figure shows the modular system chassis ground connector for which
you can connect antistatic equipment.
