Static Electricity Precautions

1.8.0.1

Grounding Procedure

You must maintain reliable grounding of this equipment. The Sun StorEdge 5310
NAS system (including head and optional Expansion Unit) must be connected to a
dedicated 20A receptacle.

1.8.0.2

Static Electricity

The Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS server and Expansion Unit contain several components
sensitive to static-electrical discharge. Surges of static electricity (caused by shuffling
your feet across a floor and touching a metallic surface, for example) can cause
damage to electrical components.

Static electricity can cause damage to static-sensitive devices and/or microcircuitry.
For this reason, it is important that proper packaging and grounding techniques be
observed. To further ensure the prevention of electrostatic damage, observe these
procedures:

Transport products in static-safe containers.

Cover work stations with approved static-dissipating material.

Wear a wrist strap, and always be properly grounded when touching static-
sensitive equipment/parts.

Use only properly grounded tools and equipment.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

To avoid damaging Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS and Expansion Unit internal
components with static electricity, follow these instructions before performing any
installation procedures.

1. Make sure both of the Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS (and optional Expansion Unit) AC

power cables are plugged in, and that the unit is turned off.
