Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) Components
CAUTION: Beware of electrostatic buildup. Delicate solid-state Integrated Circuits (ICs) can be damaged by improper handling procedures. Use proper electrostatic safeguards when installing/removing circuit cards and handling ESD sensitive assemblies. As required, wear a grounded wrist strap, use antistatic floor and table mats, and minimize the handling of sensitive solid-state devices. Keep all ESD sensitive components in their original containers until ready for use. Always discharge personal static before handling ESD sensitive components and do not slide solid state devices over any surface. Handle plug-in card assemblies only by their non-conductive edges.
Computers, microprocessors, and other solid state components (circuit cards,
I/O boards, etc.) which are not clearly marked with the ESDS symbol will be handled as ESD sensitive components until determined otherwise. Retain protective ESDS packing and shipping bags, containers, non-conductive foam pads, etc. (see Figure S–1) for use in the return of repairable components.
