Electrostatic Discharge
C
To prevent damaging the system, you must take precautions when setting up the
system or when handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or
other conductor may damage system adapters or other static-sensitive devices.
This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device.
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 surface before removing them from their
containers.
■
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■
Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
