Using an Antistatic Kit
The Digital antistatic kit contains the equipment you need
to handle static-sensitive materials safely. When handling
static-sensitive materials, always
Connect the antistatic mat to the system chassis.
Place the antistatic wrist strap around your wrist. Then
attach the other end of the strap to the snap-on fastener
on the antistatic mat before you handle any static-sensitive
component.
Place the static-sensitive component on the antistatic mat
when you set it down.
