Static electrical charges can accumulate quickly
on personnel, clothing and synthetic materials. The
electrostatic fields due to these charges when
brought in close proximity to susceptible circuit
assemblies and components, can result in de-
graded reliability or immediate failure of the affect-
ed component or assembly.
To insure optimum reliable equipment operation, it
is required that technical support personnel dis-
charge themselves by wearing a grounding strap
around the wrist and be connected to a grounding
terminal while working in the vicinity of, and while
handling EOS/ESD susceptible assemblies/parts.
If unavailable, ground yourself frequently by touch-
ing the metal chassis of the system before handling
any components (this helps only if the system is
connected to a ground). Avoid static-inducing car-
peted areas. This procedure is especially impor-
tant when handling printed circuit boards (PCB's).
