The installer must be familiar with commonly accepted procedures for integrating electronic systems and with the general practice of Sun systems integration and administration. Although parts of these systems are designed for
This equipment is sensitive to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) from clothing and other materials. Use the following antistatic measures during an installation:
■If possible, disconnect line power from the equipment chassis when servicing a system or installing a hardware upgrade. If the chassis cannot be placed upon a grounded antistatic mat, connect a grounding strap between the facility electrical input ground (usually connected to the equipment chassis) and facility electrical service ground.
■Use an antistatic wrist strap when:
■Removing a blade server from its antistatic bag
■Connecting or disconnecting blade servers or peripherals
The other end of the strap lead should be connected to one of the following:
■A ground mat
■Grounded chassis metalwork
■A facility electrical service ground
■Keep blade servers in the antistatic bags until they are needed.
■Place circuit blade servers that are out of their antistatic bags on an antistatic mat if one is available. The mat must be grounded to a facility electrical service ground. Do not place blade servers on top of an antistatic bag unless the outside of the bag also has antistatic protective properties.
■Remove a blade server from its antistatic bag only when wearing a properly connected ground strap.
