•
The power cord must include a grounded plug and must be plugged into a grounded
electrical outlet.
•
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to
avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage electrical components or
circuit boards they come into contact with.
ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges
coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this
difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The
following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is
made to protect your equipment from ESD.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Discharge static electricity from your body by touching a known grounded surface,
such as a computer’s metal chassis.
•
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their anti-static bags until
ready for use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the
printed circuit boards.
