Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic charges can damage the integrated circuits on printed circuit boards. To prevent such
damage from occurring, observe the following precautions when unpacking and installing the board.
•Stand on a static–free mat.
•Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge discharges from your body
to ground.
•Connect all equipment together, including the static–free mat, static straps, routing nodes, and
peripheral units.
•Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
•Once you have removed the printed circuit boards from their protective antistatic bags, handle
them by their edges.
