AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is
unplugged before you open the chassis to add or remove any components.

ESD and handling boards:
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by the edges. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a
grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the
board wrapper. Do NOT slide boards over any surface.
