Unpacking the Appliance
Before you begin
• Place the PDS Server appliance on a stable flat surface in the selected
location.

CAUTION
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To
prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very
carefully. The following measures can prevent ESD damage to critical
components.
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their
antistatic bags until ready for use.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the
antistatic bag.
• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing,
which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components,
peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags
when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides
excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the
mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
