Important Notes
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components:
Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:
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 working.
●
Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install components.
●
The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●
Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing
components containing ESDs.
●
Hold the components only at the edges or by the green Touch Points.
●
Do not touch any exposed pins or conductors on a component.
●
Place all components on a static-safe base.

You will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).
