CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM SAFETY

4.3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.

An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit

boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your

equipment from ESD:

- Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

- Keep all components and printed circuit baords (PCDs) in their antistatic bag.

- Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are

wearing a wrist strap.

- Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.

- When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

- Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

- For grouding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply,

the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

4-4 Operating Precautions

Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when it is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty

damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
