Step 2: Protect against electrostatic
discharge
Warning:
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent
static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the
electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically
touching an unpainted metal surface on the router.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, leave it in
the antistatic package until you are ready to install it. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic package, discharge static electricity from your body.
• Before moving a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or package.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic grounding strap.
