Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent static damage,
discharge static electricity from your body before touching any of the electronic components, such as
the microprocessor. This can be done by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the
chassis.
The following steps can also be taken to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the antistatic packing material until ready to install the component in the
system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity
from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads,
workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.
