Handling static-sensitive devices

To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, review these guidelines before you handle
static-sensitive devices.
Attention: Exposure to static electricity may lead to system halt and loss of data. Prevent this problem by
keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these
devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Limit your movement to prevent building up static electricity around you.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces indoor humidity and
increases static electricity.
• Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system, especially when working
inside the solution with the power on.
• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the
outside of the solution for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and your
body.
• Remove the device from the package and install it directly into the solution without putting it down. If you
must put the device down, put it back into the static-protective package. Never place the device on the
solution or on any metal surface.
• When handling a device, carefully hold it by the edges or the frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
• Keep the device out of others' reach to prevent damage.
