1.6 Component installation guide 

1.6.1 Precautions against static electricity  

 

ATTENTION: Components such as processors and memory may be permanently damaged by shocks arising from static 
electricity. It is hence important to wear antistatic, smock, gloves, shoes and ankle during the installation process. 
Here are a few examples of protective equipment. 
 
 

 

 
Typical antistatic foot ground device. 
 

 

 

 

 
Antistatic shoes with foot ground device. 
Note that the floor surface is also antistatic. 

 

 

 

 
Antistatic smock and gloves. 
Note that the table surface is also antistatic.
