Appendix B
Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when
setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or
other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of
damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing 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 make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
