When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
•
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are
ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
•
container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
•
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
When you run wires for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field,
electromagnetic interference (EMI) can occur between the field and the signals on
the wires.
Note that:
Bad plant wiring can result in radio frequency interference (RFI).
•
Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters,
•
can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the system, and can even create
an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into the
system.
To predict and remedy strong EMI, consult RFI experts.
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation
and operation of your WLSE. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before
