1.4 Antistatic Precautions
During normal operations, all components mounted in the server, including the dummy
(filler) units, are properly grounded through the chassis.
Prior to performing maintenance, ensure that any static electricity is discharged from the
FRUs to be inserted and the person performing the maintenance. Both must be properly
grounded.
Ensure that the procedures below are followed for proper grounding.
