bags and you are not sure whether they are static-sensitive, assume that they are static-
sensitive and handle them accordingly.
• Perform all service procedures in a static-protected environment. Always use
techniques and equipment designed to protect personnel and equipment from
electrostatic discharge.
• Remove static-sensitive components and assemblies from their static-shielding bags
only at static-safe workstations—a properly grounded table and grounded floor mat—
and only when you are wearing a grounded wrist strap (with a resistor of at least 1
megohm in series) or other grounding device.
• Use only grounded tools when inserting, adjusting, or removing static-sensitive
components and assemblies.
• Remove or insert static-sensitive components and assemblies only with device
power turned off.
• Insert and seal static-sensitive components and assemblies into their original static-
shielding bags before removing them from static-protected areas.
• Always test your ground strap, bench mat, conductive work surface, and ground
cord before removing components and assemblies from their protective bags and
before beginning any disassembly or assembly procedures.
