  • Page 139: Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive Devices

    Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive Devices Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.
  • Page 140: Software/Hardware Mismatch Problems

    Make certain the software is current and that all known revisions are installed. The IBM on-line bulletin board (sometimes referred to as PCPROD), and other software tools sources, such as Novell Netware, should be referenced by the software support personnel for any revisions provided by the appropriate software vendor.
  • Page 141 Adapter and Software Compatibility Hardware adapters for some operating systems must be approved by the software vendor to be compatible with that software. The approval is specific to the system, adapter E.C. level, and the software version. Contact the software vendor to confirm that system and adapter configuration is supported by their software level.
