HP t5135 manual Electrostatic discharge, Preventing electrostatic damage

7 Electrostatic discharge

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.

Preventing electrostatic damage

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.
