Electrostatic discharge protection

Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot repair will damage compo- nents and may void the warranty.

All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity, due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-oxide semiconductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well as some resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or degraded by expo- sure to static electricity.

Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by thedirect discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging drive electronic assemblies, observe the following precautions when installing or servicing the drive:
