ESD and Processor Handling Precautions

• Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following:

— 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 moving around unnecessarily.
— Use a ground strap attached to the front panel (with the bezel removed.)

• When opening a socket, do not touch the gold socket wires.
• When unpacking a processor, hold it only at the edges to avoid touching the gold contacts.

Follow the instructions below to remove and then install a processor, referring to
