1.1 Handling instructions
1.1.1 Electrostatic discharge
All our products are sensitive electronic devices, please respect the following guidelines when handling them.
Attention
Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive
devices in their static-protective bags until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Wear ESD protection gear such as wrist bands, ESD gloves, ESD shoes or use ESD-mats.
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
While the device is still in its anti-static bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at
least 2 seconds. (This action removes static electricity from the package and from your body).
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system, without putting it down. If it is
necessary to put the device down, place it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it
component-side up.) Do not place the device onto the cover of the system or onto a metal table.
Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Indoor humidity tends to decrease in
cold weather, causing an increase in static electricity.
