Caution – Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to
electrostatic sensitive components.
Tominimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, Sun strongly recommends using
both a workstation anti-static mat and an ESD wrist strap. Youcan get an ESD wrist
strap from any reputable electronics storeor from Sun as part number #250-1007.
Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:
Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.
Always use a properly fitted and groundedwrist strap or other suitable ESD
protection when handling the HBA and observe proper ESD grounding
techniques.
Hold the HBA by the edge of the PCB or mounting bracket, not the connectors.
Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out
of its protective antistatic bag.
