Preventing ESD Damage
ESD damage might occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, resulting in intermittent or
complete failure of the modules or FRUs. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal
carriers. EMI shielding and connectors are integral components of a carrier. Although the metal carrier helps
to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD-grounding strap when handling modules. To prevent ESD
damage, follow these guidelines:
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
