Electrostatic Discharge

B

To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

■Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

■Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

■Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

■

■

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
