6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
ESD damage:
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic •
bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
•
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. A
ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect
the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on the Control
Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both
connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path.
