place the component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case
of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any
surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores)
that is attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis
may not be grounded if it is unplugged.

Observe ESD Precautions

Use ESD
Wrist Strap
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic
components, such as disk drives, computer boards and memory modules,
can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). After
removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system,
