3.1
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry.
It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and causes
complete or intermittent failures.
Follow ESD-prevention procedures when handling electronic components. Ensure
that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD wrist strap,
ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted chassis
frame surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly
guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate
effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal
part of the chassis.
