Electrostatic Discharge

HP computers and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge (ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures to ensure that

system reliability is not compromised due to component damage from static electricity.

The following precautions can significantly reduce the risk of system failure or malfunction due to

ESD.

• Always wear a grounded wrist strap when working around the system.

• Treat all assemblies, components, and connections as sensitive.

• When unpacking cards, interfaces, and other accessories that are packaged separately

from the computer, keep the accessories in their conductive bags until they are ready

to be installed.

• Before removing or replacing any components or installing any accessories, select a

work area where potential static sources are minimized (preferably an anti-static work

station).

• Keep body movement to a minimum during accessory installation.

• Avoid working in carpeted areas.

The components, software, documentation, and circuit cards involved may be shipped in more than

one container. Check to ensure receipt of all the containers specified by the carrier's Bill of Lading.

Inspect each container for any evidence of mishandling during transit. If any of the containers are

damaged, request that the carrier's agent be present when the damaged containers are opened.

Unpack each shipping container and inspect each item for external damage. Look for damage such as

broken connectors or dented corners. If present, check rigid foam packing for signs of damage that

could indicate rough handling in transit.

Unpack the conversion kit components as follows:

1. Open the carton.

2. Remove the component.

3. Remove the component from the anti-static packing (adhering to EDS guidelines) and

visually inspect it for damage.

4. Put the component back into the anti-static packing until installation is performed.

If the visual inspection reveals damage to a component, follow the instructions in the Claims

Procedures section.
