Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 Field Service Manual page 17

ESD sensitive devices should be removed from packaging only at an ESD protected work surface, and parts should never be
placed on top of the ESD bag because only the inside the bag is shielded. Always place parts in your hand, on the ESD mat, in
the system, or inside an antistatic bag.

Transporting sensitive components
When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or returned parts to Dell, it is critical to place these
parts in antistatic bags for safe transport.
ESD protection summary
It is suggested that all field service engineers use the traditional wired ESD grounding Wrist Strap and protective antistatic mat
when servicing Dell products. In addition, it is critical that engineers place sensitive parts separate from all insulator parts while
performing service and that they use antistatic bags for transporting sensitive components.
Lifting equipment
NOTE: Do not lift systems that are greater than 50 pounds. Always obtain assistance, or use a mechanical lifting device.
Adhere to the following guidelines when lifting equipment:
1. Get a firm balanced footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base, and point out your toes.
2. Bend your knees. Do not bend at the waist.
3. Tighten stomach muscles. Abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift, offsetting the force of the load.
4. Lift with your legs, not your back.
5. Keep the load close. The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back.
