Optical Drive Installation

for HP Workstations

This document describes how to install an optical drive on an HP Workstation.

Electrostatic Discharge

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other

static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

Preventing Electrostatic Damage

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

■

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers.

■

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

■

Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.

■

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

■

Always be properly grounded when touching an electrostatic-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding Methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following measures when handling or

installing electrostatic- sensitive parts:

■

Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation chassis. Wrist straps are

flexible straps with a minimum of 1 meg. ohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To

provide a proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

■

Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when

standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

■

Use conductive field service tools.

■

Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized dealer,

reseller, or service provider install the part.
