Handling Static-sensitive Devices Warning: Static electricity can damage the blade server and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them. To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: • Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. • Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. • Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. • Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. • While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the SBCE unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the device for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body. • Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server without setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade server cover or on a metal surface. • Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

The appearance of your SBCE unit might be different, see the documentation for your SBCE unit for additional information.

Handling Static-sensitive Devices
Warning:
Static electricity can damage the blade server and other electronic devices. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are
ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an
unpainted
metal
part of the SBCE unit or any
unpainted
metal surface on any other grounded rack
component in the rack in which you are installing the device for at least 2 seconds.
This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade server cover or on a
metal surface.
Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
