Ensure ESD Protection
The
repair
environment
for
the
library
must
be
free
of
conditions
that
could
cause
electrostatic
discharge
(ESD).
To
protect
the
library
from
ESD,
follow
these
procedures
when
repairing
or
testing
the
library:
Place
a
static
protection
mat
on
the
work
surface
used
while
removing
and
installing
library
components.
Use
a
1
‐
megohm
resistor
to
ground
the
static
protection
mat.
Wear
a
static
protection
wristband
or
grounding
footstrap
whenever
you
handle
library
components
that
have
been
removed
from
their
anti
‐
static
bags.
Connect
the
wristband
to
the
static
protection
mat
or
to
other
suitable
ESD
grounding.
Note:
Keep
all
electronic
components
in
anti
‐
static
bags
when
not
in
use.

file
storage
operations
