Step 1 - Unpack and Inspect the Modules
The modules are shipped in materials which prevent damage from
static. Modules should only be removed from the packaging in an
anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are
taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not in use.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can
damage or destroy electronic
components. Use a static-safe
work station to perform all work on
electronic assemblies. The figure
(left) shows a static-safe work
station using two types of ESD
protection: conductive table-mat
and wrist-strap combination, and
conductive floor-mat and heel-
strap combination. Both types,
when used together, provide a
significant level of ESD protection.
Of the two, only the table-mat and
wrist-strap combination provides
adequate ESD protection when
used alone. To ensure user safety,
the static-safe accessories must
provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation
from ground.
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500
volts.
