A-Class Server Installation Installing Internal Add-On Components Electrostatic Discharge Precautions. The procedures in this section require opening the server and exposing the system to electrostatic discharge. Always observe all electrostatic precautions when working with components inside or out of the server. Failure to follow these precautions may result in component damage or loss of system reliability. • Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap. • Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to ground. Before You Do Anything... • Power down the system. • Unplug the server. NOTE Cabinet-mounted servers must be removed from the cabinet before proceeding. • Remove the top of the server by unscrewing the knurled captive screws on each side of the rear of the server.
