2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Static-sensitive electric discharge can damage electronic components. To
prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your
equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before you remove the board from the
anti-static bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules, or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the system board and peripherals back into their anti-static bags
when not in use.
• Be sure your computer system’s chassis allows excellent conductive
contacts between its power supply, case, mounting fasteners, and the
system board for grounding purposes.
Unpacking
The system board is shipped in anti-static packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, be sure the person handling the board is static-
protected.
