• Separation — refers to the static discharge that can be generated when
two objects are separated. For example, printer paper is often stored in
cool dry conditions. If opened and used immediately, the act of
removing the paper from its box generates static.
Follow these precautions to minimize possible ESD-induced failures in
your computer room:
• Install conductive flooring (conductive adhesive must be used when
laying tiles).
• Use conductive wax if waxed floors are installed.
• Ensure that all equipment and flooring are properly grounded and are
at the same ground potential.
• Use conductive tables and chairs.
• Store spare electric parts in antistatic containers.
• Use proper cooling equipment to reduce the risk of ESD by
maintaining recommended humidity level and airflow rates.
• Leave boxes of paper open in the computer room for several hours
before use to allow static to discharge gradually over time.
