    There are two recognized types of ESD damage: catastrophic and intermittent failures.

    • Catastrophic —The damage causes an immediate and complete loss of device functionality. An example ofcatastrophic failure is a memory DIMM that has received a static shock and immediately generates a "No POST/NoVideo" symptom with a beep code emitted for missing or nonfunctional memory.

    NOTE: Catastrophic failures represent approximately 20 percent of ESD-related failures.

    • Intermittent —The DIMM receives a static shock, but the tracing is merely weakened and does not immediatelyproduce outward symptoms related to the damage. The weakened trace may take weeks or months to melt, and in

    the meantime may cause degradation of memory integrity, intermittent memory errors, etc.

    NOTE: Intermittent failures represent approximately 80 percent of ESD-related failures. The high rate ofintermittent failures means that most of the time when damage occurs, it is not immediately recognizable.

    The more difficult type of damage to recognize and troubleshoot is the intermittent (also called latent or “walkingwounded”) failure. The following image shows an example of intermittent damage to a memory DIMM trace. Althoughthe damage is done, the symptoms may not become an issue or cause permanent failure symptoms for some time afterthe damage occurs.

    Do the following to prevent ESD damage:

    • Use a wired ESD wrist strap that is properly grounded.

    The use of wireless anti-static straps is no longer allowed; they do not provide adequate protection.

    Touching the chassis before handling parts does not ensure adequate ESD protection on parts with increasedsensitivity to ESD damage.

    • Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use anti-static floor pads and workbench pads.

    • When handling static-sensitive components, grasp them by the sides, not the top. Avoid touching pins and circuitboards.

    • When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the anti-static packing material until you are ready to install the component. Before unwrapping the anti-static packaging, besure to discharge static electricity from your body.

    • Before transporting a static-sensitive component, place it in an anti-static container or packaging.

    The ESD Field Service Kit

    The unmonitored Field Service kit is the most commonly used. Each Field Service kit includes three main components:anti-static mat, wrist strap, and bonding wire.

    Anti-Static Mat

    The anti-static mat is dissipative and should be used to safely place parts on during service procedures. When using ananti-static mat, your wrist strap should be snug and the bonding wire should be connected to the mat and to bare-metalon the system being worked on. Once deployed properly, service parts can be removed from the ESD bag and placeddirectly on the mat. Remember, the only safe place for ESD-sensitive items are in your hand, on the ESD mat, in thesystem, or inside a bag.

    Wrist Strap and Bonding Wire

    The wrist strap and bonding wire can be either directly connected between your wrist and bare metal on the hardware ifthe ESD mat is not required, or connected to the anti-static mat to protect hardware that is temporarily placed on themat. The physical connection of the wrist strap and bonding wire between your skin, the ESD mat, and the hardware isknown as bonding. Use only Field Service kits with a wrist strap, mat, and bonding wire. Never use wireless wrist straps.

    Always be aware that the internal wires of a wrist strap are prone to damage from normal wear and tear, and must bechecked regularly with a wrist strap tester in order to avoid accidental ESD hardware damage. It is recommended to testthe wrist strap and bonding wire a minimum of once per week.

    ESD Wrist Strap Tester

    The wires inside of an ESD strap are prone to damage over time. When using an unmonitored kit, it is best practice toregularly test the strap prior to each service call, and at a minimum, test once per week. A wrist strap tester is the best

    method for doing this test. If you do not have your own wrist strap tester, check with your regional office to find out ifthey have one. To perform the test, plug the wrist-strap’s bonding-wire into the tester while it is strapped to your wristand push the button to test. A green LED is lit if the test is successful; a red LED is lit and an alarm sounds if the test fails.

    Insulator Elements

    It is critical to keep ESD sensitive devices, such as plastic heat sink casings, away from internal parts that are insulatorsand often highly charged.

    Consider the Working Environment

    Before deploying the ESD Field Service kit, assess the situation at the customer location. For example, deploying the kit

    for a server environment is different than for a desktop or portable environment. Servers are typically installed in a rackwithin a data center; desktops or portables are typically placed on office desks or cubicles.

    Always look for a large open flat work area that is free of clutter and large enough to deploy the ESD kit with additionalspace to accommodate the type of system that is being repaired. The workspace should also be free of insulators thatcan cause an ESD event. On the work area, insulators such as Styrofoam and other plastics should always be moved atleast 12 inches or 30 centimeters away from sensitive parts before physically handling any hardware components.

    ESD Packaging

    All ESD-sensitive devices must be shipped and received in static-safe packaging. Metal, static-shielded bags are preferred.However, you should always return the damaged part using the same ESD bag and packaging that the new part arrived in.The ESD bag should be folded over and taped shut and all the same foam packing material should be used in the originalbox that the new part arrived in.

    ESD-sensitive devices should be removed from packaging only at an ESD-protected work surface, and parts should neverbe placed on top of the ESD bag because only the inside of the bag is shielded. Always place parts in your hand, on theESD mat, in the system, or inside an anti-static bag.

    Transporting Sensitive Components

    When transporting ESD-sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be returned to Dell, it is critical toplace these parts in anti-static bags for safe transport.

    ESD Protection Summary

    It is strongly suggested that all field service engineers use the traditional wired ESD grounding wrist strap and protectiveanti-static mat at all times when servicing Dell products. In addition, it is critical that engineers keep sensitive partsseparate from all insulator parts while performing service and that they use anti-static bags for transporting sensitivecomponents.

    Lifting Equipment

    WARNING: Do not lift greater than 50 pounds. Always obtain assistance from another person or persons, 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 your toes out.

    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.

    6. Keep your back upright, whether lifting or setting down the load. Do not add the weight of your body to the load.Avoid twisting your body and back.

    7. Follow the same techniques in reverse to set the load down.

    NOTE: In a scenario where both control panel and system board are dispatched, it is recommended to replace thecontrol panel first and attempt a power on to complete the backup process. Then proceed to replace the systemboard.

    NOTE: The OEM ID Module restore is available on iDRAC8 v2.20.20.20 and above.

    To restore the Service Tag using Easy Restore:

    1. Power on the system.

    If BIOS detects a new system board, and the Service Tag is present in the backup flash device, BIOS displays theService Tag, the status of the license, and the UEFI Diagnostics version.

    2. Press Y to restore the Service Tag, license, and diagnostics information, or;

    Press N to navigate to the Lifecycle Controller based restore options, or;

    Press  to restore data from a previously created Hardware Server Profile.

    After the restore process is complete, BIOS prompts to restore the system configuration data.

    3. Press Y to restore the system configuration data, or;

    Press N to use the default configuration settings.

    After the restore process is complete, system reboots.

    Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Installation

    In 13G, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip is on a Plug In Module (PIM). The 13G TPM is bound to one and only onesystem board.

    CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the TPM plug-in module from the motherboard. Once the TPM plug-in

    module is installed, it is cryptographically bound to that specific motherboard. Any attempt to remove an

    installed TPM plug-in module breaks the cryptographic binding, and it cannot be re-installed or installed onanother motherboard.

    New TPM chip has to be dispatch, if system configured with TPM chip. Field engineer needs to install a new TPM chipafter system board replacement.

    To install the TPM chip, use the following steps:

    1. Align the edge connectors on the TPM with the slot on the TPM connector.

    2. Insert the TPM into the TPM connector such that the plastic bolt aligns with the slot on the system board.

    3. Press the plastic bolt until the bolt snaps into place.
