Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to the system, you must take precautions when setting up the system or handling
parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor might damage system boards
or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, take the following precautions:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Before removing parts from containers, place parts on a grounded surface.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Make sure you are grounded properly when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
