1.1.3 Unpacking Instructions
Note: A system chassis may not be a suitable grounding source if it is unplugged.
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage these circuits.
Artesyn strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam
pad when installing or upgrading a system.
Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer boards and memory modules, can be
extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from
its protective wrapper or from the system, place the component on a grounded, static-free,
and adequately protected working surface. Do not slide the component over any surface. In
the case of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), place the board with the component side facing
up.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an
anti-static wrist strap (available locally) that is attached to an active electrical ground.
