Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions needed 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.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage
To prevent electrostatic damage:

•
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.
