Anti Static Mat for Server

[lawrenceg081990]

Hi All,

I'm about to purchase a Dell R610 for personal use. The thing is my room is carpeted and I don't have a dedicated table for the server. I was planning to purchase an anti-static mat, place it on top of the carpet and then place the server on top of it.

Will that make the server safe from static discharges? I know I can just purchase a new table, place the anti static mat on top of the table and place the server there but I'm just exploring my options.

Thanks.

If the case is closed, you won't have to worry about ESD. The noise will be uncomfortable for you, but the server should be ok.
