ESD mat packaging Precaution Connect the ESD connector to your server and wear the wrist strap or foot strap when handling printed circuit boards. There are two antistatic strap attachment points on the chassis: 1. Right side towards the front 2.
Caution – Attach the cord of the antistatic wrist strap directly to the server. Do not attach the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD mat connection. The antistatic wrist strap and any components you remove must be at the same potential.
The normal procedure in this case would be to fix the rack through the raised floor to the concrete floor below, using a proprietary mounting kit for the purpose.
