0.6 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions. Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic precautions whenever you use or handle computer components.
