Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (IC) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.

When handling
•Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
•Avoid contact with other people.
•Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
•Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.
•Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a
•Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.
—Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or
—Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a
—Use the round
/NOTE
The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.
xxCAUTION:
If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of. Do not:
•Throw or immerse into water
•Heat to more than 100×C (212×F)
•Repair or disassemble
•Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
