Electrostatic Discharge

6.1

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow
when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from
a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive
devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe

containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers before they arrive at

static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before taking them out from their packages.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or

assembly.
6.2
Grounding Methods to Prevent Electrostatic
Discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or

computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm
±10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear
the strap snug against the skin.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the

straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor
mats.
Use conductive field service tools.

Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an
authorized reseller install the part.
