Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to
follow when setting up the system or handling parts. An electrostatic discharge
(ESD) from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other
static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of
the device.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.
■
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free workstations.
■
Place parts on a grounded (earthed) surface before removing them from
their containers.
■
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
