Tools Required

To service a library you may need one or more of the following tools:

v#2 Phillips screwdriver

vGround strap (recommended, if available)

Electrostatic Discharge

Important: A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

vTransport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.

vKeep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.

vCover the unit with approved static-dissipating material. If available, provide a ground strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment. If a ground strap is not available, touch a metal surface to discharge any static electricity in your body.

vKeep the work area free of no conducting materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.

vMake sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

vAvoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

vUse conductive field service tools.
