Prepare an antistatic surface on which to set parts during removal and
installation.
Place electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive components such as the
printed circuit boards on an antistatic mat. The following items can be used
as an antistatic mat:
An antistatic bag used to wrap a replacement part
An Oracle ESD mat (orderable item)
A disposable ESD mat (shipped with some replacement parts or
optional system components)
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.
Note:
An antistatic wrist strap is not
included in the Ship Kit for the server. However, antistatic wrist straps might be
included with options and components.
