Insulator Elements 

– It is critical to keep ESD sensitive devices, such as plastic heat sink casings, away from internal parts that are 

insulators and often highly charged.

Working Environment 

– Before deploying the ESD Field Service kit, assess the situation at the customer location. For example, 

deploying the kit for a server environment is different than for a desktop or portable environment. Servers are typically installed in a 
rack within a data center; desktops or portables are typically placed on office desks or cubicles. Always look for a large open flat work 
area that is free of clutter and large enough to deploy the ESD kit with additional space to accommodate the type of system that is 
being repaired. The workspace should also be free of insulators that can cause an ESD event. On the work area, insulators such as 
Styrofoam and other plastics should always be moved at least 12 inches or 30 centimeters away from sensitive parts before physically 
handling any hardware components.

ESD Packaging 

– All ESD-sensitive devices must be shipped and received in static-safe packaging. Metal, static-shielded bags are 

preferred. However, you should always return the damaged part using the same ESD bag and packaging that the new part arrived in. 
The ESD bag should be folded over and taped shut and all the same foam packing material should be used in the original box that the 
new part arrived in. ESD-sensitive devices should be removed from packaging only at an ESD-protected work surface, and parts 
should never be placed on top of the ESD bag because only the inside of the bag is shielded. Always place parts in your hand, on the 
ESD mat, in the system, or inside an anti-static bag.

Transporting Sensitive Components

 – When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be 

returned to Dell, it is critical to place these parts in anti-static bags for safe transport.

ESD protection summary

It is recommended that all field service technicians use the traditional wired ESD grounding wrist strap and protective anti-static mat at all 
times when servicing Dell products. In addition, it is critical that technicians keep sensitive parts separate from all insulator parts while 
performing service and that they use anti-static bags for transporting sensitive components.

Transporting sensitive components

When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be returned to Dell, it is critical to place these parts in 
anti-static bags for safe transport.

Lifting equipment

Adhere to the following guidelines when lifting heavy weight equipment:

CAUTION: 

Do not lift greater than 50 pounds. Always obtain additional resources or use a mechanical lifting device.

1. Get a firm balanced footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base, and point your toes out.
2. Tighten stomach muscles. Abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift, offsetting the force of the load.
3. Lift with your legs, not your back.
4. Keep the load close. The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back.
5. Keep your back upright, whether lifting or setting down the load. Do not add the weight of your body to the load. Avoid twisting your 

body and back.

6. Follow the same techniques in reverse to set the load down.

After working inside your computer

About this task
