6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electricstatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre- vent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.

Precautions

zUse a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

zTouch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti- static bag.

zHandle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph- eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

zWhen handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

zPut the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti- static bags when not in use.

zFor grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex- cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.
