2.4 Before You Install Or Remove the RTM
Boards may be damaged if improperly installed or handled. Please read and follow the
guidelines in this section to protect your equipment.
2.4.1 Observe ESD Precautions
Artesyn strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a 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 flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a board, component side
up). Do not slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical
ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
2.4.2 Watch for Bent Pins or Other Damage
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the board, the backplane, or other system
components. Carefully inspect your board and the backplane for both pin and component
integrity before installation. Bent pins caused by improper installation or by boards with
damaged connectors could void the warranty for the backplane or boards.
If a system contains one or more damaged pins, power off the system and contact your local
sales representative to schedule delivery of a replacement chassis assembly.
