A Electrostatic Discharge This appendix discusses ways to prevent damage to your system due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). This appendix addresses the following topics: "Handling Parts" (page 35) "Grounding" (page 35) Handling Parts To prevent damage to your system, you must take precautions when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device. To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: • Avoid hand contact; transport and store products in static-safe containers. • Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations . • Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers. • Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry. • Always be properly grounded when handling a static-sensitive component or assembly. Grounding Use one or more of the following grounding methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: • A wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin. • Heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats. Use conductive field service tools. • A portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat. Handling Parts 35
