Adhering to the following precautions will reduce the risk of
static discharge damage.
Keep the assembly in its conductive storage box/bag when not
installed in the Mainframe. Save the box/bag for future storage
of the assembly.
Before handling the assembly, select a work area where
potential static sources are minimized. Avoid working in
carpeted areas and non-conductive chairs. Keep body
movement to a minimum. Agilent recommends that you use a
controlled static workstation.
Avoid touching any components or edge connectors. When you
install the assembly, keep one hand in contact with the
protective bag as you pick up the assembly with your other
hand. Then, before installing the assembly, ensure that you are
grounded or make contact with the metal surface of the
Mainframe with your free hand to bring you, the assembly, and
the mainframe to the same static potential. This also applies
whenever you connect or disconnect cables on the instrument.
