Electrostatic Discharge

6.1

ESD Prevention

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 the motherboard 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

Anti-ESD Grounding Methods

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. The wrist strap must be scalable. The resistance of the
ground wire must be at least 1 megohm ±10%. 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 none of the preceding recommended grounding devices are available, contact
an authorized dealer to install a grounding device.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation,
contact the authorized dealer.
