6.9.1Preventing Static Electricity

This section provides procedures for replacing all Hot-Swappable and LRU components, including procedures for replacing or adding system memory.

The components inside your computer are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge- sensitive components in your Server.

To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines before opening the Server case:

1.Turn off the Server and unplug the power cord before opening the case.

2.Wear a grounding wrist strap and attach it to a bare metal part of the Server, workbench, or other grounded connection.

3.Do not insert any object into the vent holes on the case or the power supply. Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the computer, a bare metal surface on your workbench, or other grounded object before handing DIMMs or other components.

Before working with computer components, follow these guidelines:

•Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing foam.
