Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and blades consist of
printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and
connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board
from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
