Electrostatic discharge precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All
work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work station.
The following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station using two
types of ESD protection. Purchase acceptable ESD accessories from your local
supplier.
- Conductive table-mat and
- Conductive floor-mat and
Both types, when used together,
provide a significant level of ESD
protection. Of the two, only the
table-mat and wrist-strap combination
provides adequate ESD protection
when used alone. To ensure user
safety, the static-safe accessories
must provide at least 1 M of isolation
from ground.

Keysight's PXI Switch Modules are shipped in materials that
prevent static electricity damage. The modules should only be

correct anti-static precautions are taken. Store all modules in
anti-static envelopes when not in use.
