Appendix B Electrostatic Discharge - HP P5389A - Intel Pentium III-S 1.4 GHz Processor Upgrade User Manual

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, observe the following precautions:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
•
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive
installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or card
slot. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the
system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
•
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive
installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or card slot.
•
Handle adapter cards by available handles or edges only. Avoid touching the
printed circuit boards or connectors.
