Static Precautions
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other
components. You can ensure some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap
attached to chassis ground when handling system components.
Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep
them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.
Equipment Log
Use the equipment log form located at the end of this manual to record the model and
serial number of your system, all the installed options, and any other pertinent
information specific to your system. You will need this information when configuring
your system.
