ESD Protective Measures
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor might damage printed
circuit boards or other static sensitive devices, reducing the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent ESD damage, observe the following precautions:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing devices in a static-safe container.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive devices in their containers until they arrive at a static-free
work station and ready for installation.
Place devices on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
Avoid touching the backplane, connectors, pins, leads, and exposed circuitry.
Follow proper grounding methods for handling static-sensitive devices.
Recommended grounding methods include using one or more of the following:
Wear an ESD wrist strap connected to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or bootstraps at standing workstation. 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.
CAUTION: If recommended grounding equipment is not available, have an Authorized
Compaq Service Provider install the part.
