Perform Antistatic Measures

1. Prepare an antistatic surface on which to set parts during removal and installation.

   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 Sun replacement part
   • Sun ESD mat, part number 250-1088
   • 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 disconnect the power cords from the server.

3. Remove the top cover.
