Standard ESD Measures
CAUTION! ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result in
total or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing
components.
To prevent ESD damage:
• Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic
discharge from damaging your hardware.
• When you are using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for
static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when you
are using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have a wrist strap, before you remove the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of five seconds.
• Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in
the system.
• With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to the metal frame of the system.
• Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Avoid touching the components and gold connectors on
the adapter.
• If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic
bag. Before you pick it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at
the same time.
• Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.
