Chapter 5 Safety and Tools Requirements 43
■ When removing a board, card, or module from an antistatic bag, lay it on an
antistatic surface such as a Sun ESD mat, an antistatic bag, or a disposable
antistatic mat.
■ Transport boards, cards, or modules in an antistatic bag.
■ Always wear an antistatic wrist strap connected to a metal surface on the chassis
when working on system components and parts.
■ Do not place the boards, cards, or modules on an unprotected surface. Use a
cushioned antistatic mat or antistatic bag. Connectors and components have very
thin pins that bend easily.
■ Do not use an oscilloscope or VOM (Volt/Ohm meter) probe on the components.
The soldered pins can be damaged or shorted by the probe point.
