•  When you install or perform maintenance tasks, you must wear a grounded ESD antistatic strap to protect the hardware against electrostatic discharge. Make sure that the strap makes skin contact prior to handling equipment.

•  Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap to ensure it is functioning properly.

•  If you remove or replace system components, you must transport the component in a conductive container or an ESD bag that has been grounded or neutralized.

•  Store any system components in their protective packaging until you are ready to install them.

•  Do not touch the electronic components on system hardware.
