Electrostatic
Discharge
Precautions
Electrostatic discharge can damage the integrated circuits on printed-circuit boards.
To prevent such damage from occurring, be sure to observe the following
precautions when handling and installing boards:
1. Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap, such as those included in the
ESD Field Service Kit (HP P/N A3024-80004).
2. Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic
charge is discharged from you body to ground.
3. Keep uninstalled printed-circuit boards in their protective anti-static bags until
you are ready to install them.
4. Handle printed-circuit boards by their edges after you have removed them from
their protective anti-static bags.
