Take Antistatic Measures

  1. 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. You can use the following items as an antistatic mat:

    • Antistatic bag used to wrap a replacement part

    • Oracle ESD mat (orderable item)

    • 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 perform procedures for servicing the server.

    Note:

    An antistatic wrist strap is not included in the Accessory Kit for the server. However, antistatic wrist straps might be included with options and components.
