Handling static-sensitive devices
Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static

avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
