Safety information
9.Check that the
Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD.) ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.
Notes
1.Use
2.Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

vUse the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a
vSelect a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.
Note
The use of a grounding system to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not necessary.
–Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or
–When working on a
