Figure 1: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
●
You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before touching the components.
●
The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●
Shut-down the system and remove the power plug from the power socket
before inserting or removing boards containing ESDs.
●
Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
●
Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
●
Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install/deinstall the board.
●
Place all components on a static-free surface.

You will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1,
