protected against ESD for their intended use. However, it is possible to damage the product by
delivering electrostatic discharges when touching, removing, or inserting any objects in the
equipment housing.
To avoid delivering high static voltages to the product:
• Handle ESD
‑
sensitive components on a properly grounded and protected ESD workbench
or by grounding yourself to the equipment chassis with a wrist strap and a resistive
