ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE INFORMATION

A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or
micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary
precautions to prevent damage.
following precautions:
o Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes,
bags, or boxes.
o Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive
at static-free stations.
o Cover work stations with approved static-dissipating material.
wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and
equipment.
o Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic
assembly aids and styrofoam.
o Always be properly grounded when touching a static sensitive component or
assembly.
o Avoid touching pins, leads or circuitry.
o Always place drives' PCB assembly side down on the foam.
o Use conductive field service tools.
