You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the switch. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): • When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, leave it in the antistatic package until you are ready to install it. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, discharge static electricity from your body. • Before moving a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or package. • Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic grounding strap. Step 3: Unpack the Switch The following figure shows the package contents for the switch. Figure 3.
