Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a natural by-product of human
activity. ESD is produced by materials that accumulate and retain
electrical charges which are transferred to people or other objects
upon contact.
Caution:
ESD can damage electronic components when they
are improperly handled and can result in total or intermittent
failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when
removing and replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin
contact. Connect the equipment end of the strap to an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis. If a wrist strap is not
available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before
handling the controller or any other part of the computer.
