Note:

ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and

other parts. This system can withstand normal levels of
environmental ESD while you are hot-swapping SCSI
hard drives. However, we recommend that you do all
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation or
provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic
wrist strap attached to chassis ground

any unpainted

metal surface

on the system when handling parts.
