Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Follow these steps to avoid damage from ESD before working inside the server.
1. Shut down the server.
2. If the cable management arm is not in use, unplug all external cables except the
power cord.
3. Touch the server’s metal case to discharge static electricity.
4. Unplug the power cord.
5. Slide the server open, remove it from the rack, and place it on a flat surface, preferably
covered by an ESD mat.
6. Put on an ESD wrist strap.
7. To avoid static electricity building back up in your body, do not walk around the room
until after you have finished working and closed the server.

The top cover is attached to the rack where the server is mounted. If you are replacing the
top cover, you must remove it both from the server and from the rack. For detailed
