Appendix F: Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components and equipment. ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components.

Use the following guidelines to prevent ESD damage:

•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact.

•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal chassis surface.

•If no wrist strap is available ground yourself by touching the metal chassis.
