• The minimum requirement is an anti-static wrist strap,
which must be connected to a hard ground to be
effective. We recommend that you remove components
from their packaging and place them on an ESD-qualified
table that is equipped with ground points for wrist straps.
• Static charges can build up rapidly on rolling carts. If a
hardware component is transported by cart, the cart
should be grounded by a drag chain on an ESD floor. If
there is no ESD cart available or ESD floor, you should
first ground yourself before you touch a component that
has been transported on a cart.
