Electrostatic Discharge 
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions needed to follow when 
setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger 
or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This 
type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. 
Preventing Electrostatic Damage 
To prevent electrostatic damage:  
• 
•

• 
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers. 
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free 
workstations. 
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers. 
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. 
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or 
assembly.
