Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic discharges (static electricity) can damage the integrated
circuits on printed circuit boards and other internal devices. To prevent
such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during
board unpacking and installation:
• Stand on a static-free mat.
• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic
charge is discharged from your body to ground.
• Connect all equipment together, including the static-free mat, static
strap, routing nodes, and peripheral units.
• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic
bags.
• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed
them from their protective antistatic bags.
