Information
When performing maintenance, observe the following precautions to avoid
component damage:
1.
Minimize handling of static-sensitive components.
2.
Transport and store static-sensitive components or assemblies in their
original containers or on a metal
rail.
Label any package that contains
static-sensitive components or modules.
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded
antistatic wrist strap while handling these components. Servicing static-
sensitive components or assemblies should be performed only at a
static-free work station by qualified service personnel.
4.
Nothing capable of generating or holding a static charge off the work
station surface.
5. Keep the component leads shorted together whenever possible.
6. Pick up components or modules by their bodies, never by their leads.
7. Do not slide the components or modules over any surface.
8. Avoid handling components or modules in areas that have a floor or
work-surface covering capable of generating a static charge.
9. Use a soldering iron that is connected to earth ground.
10.
Use only approved antistatic, vacuum-type desoldering tools for compo-
nent removal.
