Electrostatic discharge protection

Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot repair will damage com- ponents and may void the warranty.

All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity, due to the electrostatically sensitive de- vices used within the drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-oxide semiconductors are ex- tremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well as some resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or de- graded by exposure to static electricity.

Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by the direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging drive electronic assem- blies, observe the following precautions when installing or servicing the drive:
