Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, such as the motherboard, PCI cards, hard drives, and memory cards require special handling.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components such as drive assemblies, boards, or cards. When servicing or removing server components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the chassis. Do this after you disconnect the power cords from the server. Following this practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the server.
Place ESD-sensitive components such as the motherboard, memory, and other PCB cards on an antistatic mat.
