Component Handling
CAUTION:
To prevent component damage, ensure that your hands are clean, and
only handle the P.C. board by its edges.
CAUTION:
When handling electronic components, wear an antistatic strap. Failure
to do so could result in component damage.
CAUTION:
For shipping and storage, place the removed P.C. board in an antistatic
protective bag. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
P.C. Board
When servicing the P.C. board, follow good handling practices.
Mishandling a P.C. board can cause the following:
• P.C. board damage
• Shortened P.C. board life
• Unit malfunctions
Observe the following P.C. board handling rules:
• Ensure that hands are clean and free of moisture, oily liquids, etc.
• Only handle the P.C. board by its outer edges.
• Do not touch the P.C. board components. Finger contact with the
board surface and/or with its components can leave a deposit that
will result in board (and component) deterioration.
• When working with electronics, wear an appropriate antistatic strap,
and ensure that it is properly grounded.
• Service the removed P.C. board at a static-free workstation that is
properly grounded.
• For shipping and storage, place the removed P.C. board in an
antistatic protective bag.
