ESD and Processor Handling Precautions

Be mindful of the following points when handling the processors and sockets:

• 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.
