Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are
sensitive to static electricity.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic
devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices
in their static-protective bags until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe
the following precautions:
- Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to
build up around you.
- Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
- Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
- Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage
the device.
- While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an
unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds.
(This action removes static electricity from the package and from
your body.)
- Remove the device from its package and install it directly into
your Lenovo Storage V series system, without putting it down. If it
is necessary to put the device down, place it onto its static-protective
bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up.) Do
not place the device onto the cover of the Lenovo Storage V series
system or onto a metal table.
- Take additional care when you handle devices during
cold weather. Indoor humidity tends to decrease in cold weather, causing
an increase in static electricity.
