Taking Electrostatic Discharge
Precautions
Static electricity can damage the components inside a workstation or on a
printed circuit card. To minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge:
Turn off power to the workstation.
Touch the metal chassis of the workstation to drain off any static
electricity before touching a card.
Wear a properly connected grounding wrist strap when handling a card
or working in a workstation.
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
Do not remove the cards from their antistatic bags until you are ready to
install them.
Handle cards as little as possible and by the edges only.
