2-2 Compaq ProLiant 8500 Server Maintenance and Service Guide Electrostatic Discharge Information A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.  Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.  Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.  Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.  Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  Always place drives PCB assembly-side down.  Use conductive field service tools. System Interconnect Status Indicators Compaq ProLiant 8500 servers ship with system interconnect status indicators. System interconnect status indicators consist of 17 LEDs that provide a closed-loop checking mechanism for verifying proper component mating and interconnections between critical server components. The indicators provide a visual aid to assist in isolating which components to check if the server will not power up. These LEDs are located in the I/O module and can be viewed through the top access panel. See Chapter 4, "Connectors, Switches, and LED Indicators," for more information.
