ESD and Processor Handling Precautions
Be mindful of the following points when handling the processors and sockets:
• To reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor:
— Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board.
— Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the processor.
— Avoid unnecessary movement.
— Use a ground strap attached to the front panel (with the bezel removed.)
• Do not touch the gold wires in the socket.
• Hold the processor only at the edges to avoid touching the gold contacts on the processor.
