7. Ensure that the metallic underside of the wrist strap is in direct contact with your
skin.
The wrist strap should be snug around the wrist so that it does not rotate. (See Section 1.4,
“Antistatic Precautions” on page 1-9)
Caution – Before handling FRUs, be sure to connect the clip of the antistatic wrist strap
and of the antistatic mat to the server grounding port, and attach the band of the wrist strap
to one of your wrists. Place the FRUs on the grounded antistatic mat. Failure to take these
antistatic measures might result in serious damage.

If you forcibly pull the connector or the cable, the cable may be damaged.
Caution – When removing cables such as LAN cable, if your finger can't reach the latch
lock of the connector, press the latch with a flathead screwdriver to remove the cable.
