Prerequisite for installing the rack-mounted server
Use the information to understand the prerequisites that are required for installing the server.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to an
unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging your
hardware.
v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is used
for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or
working on electrical equipment.
v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5
seconds.
You might need to read the following documents before you install the server:
