Use an Antistatic Wrist Strap
Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat when handling components
such as drive assemblies, boards, or cards. When servicing or removing server
components, attach an antistatic strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the
chassis. Do this after you disconnect the power cords from the server. Following this
practice equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the server.
Use an Antistatic Mat
Place ESD-sensitive components such as the motherboard, memory, and other PCB
cards on an antistatic mat.
