Wear an antistatic wrist strap at all times when handling any customer replaceable unit (CRU).
Before handling any CRU, discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded surface.
Do not remove a CRU from its antistatic protective bag until you are ready to install it.
After removing a CRU from the chassis, immediately place it in an antistatic bag or antistatic packaging.
Handle any card that is part of a CRU by its edges only and avoid touching the components or circuitry.
Do not slide a CRU over any surface.
Limit body movement (which builds up static electricity) during the removal and replacement of a CRU.
