Emergency procedures (without an ESD kit)
In an emergency when an ESD kit is not available, use the following
procedures to reduce the possibility of an electrostatic discharge by
ensuring that your body and the subassembly are at the same
electrostatic potential.
CAUTION: These procedures are not a substitute for the use of an ESD kit.
Follow them only in the event of an emergency.
D
Before touching any electronic circuits or boards inside the
equipment, firmly touch a bare (unpainted) metal surface of the
equipment.
D
Before removing any replacement or upgrade subassembly from its
antistatic bag, place one hand firmly on an unpainted metal surface
of the chassis, and at the same time, pick up the replacement or
upgrade subassembly while it is still sealed in the antistatic bag.
Once you have done this, do not move around the room or contact
other furnishings, personnel, or surfaces until you have installed
and secured the subassembly in the equipment.
D
Remove the subassembly from the antistatic bag, handling printed
circuit boards by the edges. Avoid touching components and circuits
on a printed circuit board.
D
If you must move around the room or touch other surfaces before
securing the subassembly in the equipment, first place the
subassembly back in the antistatic bag. When you are ready again
to install the subassembly repeat these procedures.
D
Order an ESD kit from Data General for the next time you need to
add or remove a cover or panel.
