Handling ESD-sensitive parts
Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the usual
precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic boards:
•
Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special “ESD bag”) until you are
ready to install the part into the machine.
•
Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent an increase of static electricity
from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
•
Put the ESD wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the wrist band to the system ground point. This
discharges any static electricity in your body to the machine.
•
Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector shroud (cover); do not touch its pins. If you
are removing a pluggable module, use the correct tool.
•
Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the machine cover or on a metal table; if you need to put
down the ESD-sensitive part for any reason, first put it into its special bag.
•
Machine covers and metal tables are electrical grounds. They increase the risk of damage
because they make a discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large
metal objects can be discharge paths without being grounded.)
•
Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel. Install
machine covers when you are not working on the machine, and do not put unprotected
ESD-sensitive parts on a table.
•
If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal cabinet (case).
•
Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-weather heating is used
because low humidity increases static electricity.
