Identifying the Chassis, Routine Care, and Disassembly Preparation 5.1.2 Small Form Factor (SFF) 5.2 Electrostatic Discharge Information A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device may function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions. 5-2 361685-001 Service Reference Guide, dx5150

5.2 Electrostatic Discharge Information

A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy

static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage

occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not appear to be

affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device may function

normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.

Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the

discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
