To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you
need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A
discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This
type of damage may 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 be properly grounded when touching a
static-sensitive component or assembly.
