Antistatic Precautions
Electronic equipment is susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use a grounded
antistatic wriststrap, footstrap, or equivalent safety equipment to prevent
electrostatic damage (ESD) when you install or service the server.
Caution – To protect electronic components from electrostatic damage, which can
permanently disable the system or require repair by Sun service technicians, place
components on an antistatic surface, such as an antistatic discharge mat, an antistatic
bag, or a disposable antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap connected to
a metal surface on the chassis when you work on system components.
