Electrostatic Precautions
CAUTION: This product contains components that are highly sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. To protect these components from damage and to
maintain product reliability, take the following precautions when handling
the components:
• Handle all circuit boards in a static-protected area capable of controlling
static charge on conductive materials, people, and non-conductive
materials. Static-protected areas include non-static table tops and
non-static floor mats.
• Handle the circuit boards only by the edges. Avoid touching the printed
wires on the back of the circuit board as much as possible.
• Leave the board in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to install the
board.
• Media disk drives are very sensitive to shock and vibration. To prevent
damage, do not drop or bang a drive when handling. Do not stack drives
upon each other.
• Media disk drives are also very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD),
particularly the SCSI connector. To prevent damage, take ESD
precautions when handling the drives. Also, when returning them, the
drives should only be transported and stored in the ESD bags they were
shipped in.
