How to Use an Antistatic Mat

1. Prepare an antistatic surface to set parts on during the removal, installation, or replacement process.

   Place static-sensitive components such as the printed circuit boards, memory modules, and CPUs on an antistatic mat. The following items can be used as an antistatic mat:

   • Antistatic bag used to wrap a Sun replacement part

   • Oracle antistatic mat, part number 250-1088

   • A disposable antistatic 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 bare metal area on the chassis.
