tenance on the SC833S-R760 chassis. For component installation, follow the
steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered.
If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance
is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electricstatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equip-
ment from ESD damage.
Precautions
z Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
z Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
z Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
z When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
z Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
z For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the serverboard.
