Precautions Against Static Electricity
Before removing electronic components from their antistatic bags read the following static electricity precautions.
1.
Before handling any components, discharge your body's static electric charge by touching a grounded
surface.
2.
Do not remove parts from their antistatic bags until you are ready to install them.
3.
Do not lay parts on the antistatic bags! Only the insides are antistatic.
4.
When handling parts, hold them by their edges and their metal mounting brackets.
5.
Avoid touching components or edge connectors that plug into slots.
6.
Never slide parts over any surface.
7.
Avoid plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam in your work area.
8.
Wear the antistatic wrist strap included in your component replacement kit.

The antistatic caution icon shown to the left appears in several places in this manual to remind you to wear an
antistatic wrist strap (Part No. 576013-908) when handling static sensitive devices.
