Handling Static-sensitive Devices Important: 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: • When working on the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE, use an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap, especially when you will be handling modules, options, and blade servers. To work properly, the wrist strap must have a good contact at both ends (touching your skin at one end and firmly connected to the ESD connector on the front or back of the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE). • 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 Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack you are installing the device in 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 handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. 16 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Installation and User's Guide

Handling Static-sensitive Devices
Important:
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:
•
When working on the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE, use an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) wrist strap, especially when you will be handling modules, options,
and blade servers. To work properly, the wrist strap must have a good contact at both
ends (touching your skin at one end and firmly connected to the ESD connector on the
front or back of the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE).
•
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 Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE or any
unpainted
metal surface on any
other grounded rack component in the rack you are installing the device in 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 handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
