High-performance NVIDIA GPUs, such as the H100 or A100, are highly sensitive toElectrostatic Discharge (ESD). A static spark that a human cannot even feel (less than 3,000 volts) is enough to permanently damage the microscopic circuits within the GPU die or the HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) modules. AnAnti-ESD strap(or wrist strap) is the mandatory safety item for any technician handling internal server components. It works by grounding the technician, ensuring that any static charge built up on their body is safely dissipated before they touch the hardware. While gloves (Option B) might protect against sharp edges, they do not prevent ESD unless they are specifically rated as ESD-safe. Using an electric screwdriver (Option D) is generally discouraged for sensitive components to prevent over-tightening or mechanical stress. Therefore, an ESD strap is the single most critical tool for preventing "Infant Mortality" of expensive AI hardware during physical installation.
