Caution - Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to electrostatic sensitive components. |
To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, use both a workstation antistatic mat and an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or from Oracle as part number 250-1007. Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:
Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.
Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection when handling the HBA and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.
Hold the HBA by the module housing and do not touch the connectors.
Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its protective antistatic bag.
