Anti­static Mat - Dellcos Chromebook 11-3120 Disassembly And Reassembly Manual

Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use anti-static floor pads and
workbench pads.
When handling static-sensitive components, grasp them by the sides, not the top. Avoid touching
pins and circuit boards.
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the anti-static packing material until you are ready to install the component. Before
unwrapping the anti-static packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
Before transporting a static-sensitive component, place it in an anti-static container or packaging.
The ESD Field Service Kit
The unmonitored Field Service kit is the most commonly used. Each Field Service kit includes three main
components: anti-static mat, wrist strap, and bonding wire.
ESD Field Service Kit
Anti­Static Mat
The anti-static mat is dissipative and should be used to safely place parts on during service procedures.
When using an anti-static mat, your wrist strap should be snug and the bonding wire should be connected
to the mat and to bare-metal on the system being worked on. Once deployed properly, service parts can
be removed from the ESD bag and placed directly on the mat. Remember, the only safe place for ESD-
sensitive items are in your hand, on the ESD mat, in the system, or inside a bag.
