Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components
in the product. To prevent ESD, observe these precautions when
directed to do so:
Use a Ground Strap. Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to
discharge the static voltage from your body while installing or
removing sensitive components.
Use a Safe Work Area. Do not use any devices capable of generating
or holding a static charge in the work area where you install or
remove sensitive components. Avoid handling sensitive
components in areas that have a floor or benchtop surface capable
of generating a static charge.
Handle Components Carefully. Do not slide sensitive components
over any surface. Do not touch exposed connector pins. Handle
sensitive components as little as possible.
Transport and Store Carefully. Transport and store sensitive
components in a static-protected bag or container.
