Preventing ESD Damage

In order to preserve the integrity of the components, follow the recommendations listed below:
Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the equipment
•
end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
Avoid touching the adapter against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components from
•
ESD on the body only.
Handle the adapter by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board or the
•
connectors.
Put the adapter down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
•
If you are returning the adapter to Xilinx Product Support, place it back in its antistatic bag
•
immediately.
CAUTION! ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled and can
result in total or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and
replacing components.
