Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD
procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. RADVISION strongly encourages you to follow
proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment. Take the
following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in the chassis.
Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded.
This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
• Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
• Handle components and boards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts on a board.
Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
• Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or
radioactive fields.
WARNING
Because static electricity can cause damage to electronic devices, take the following
precautions:
• Keep the board in its anti-static package, until you are ready to install memory.
• Wear a grounding wrist strap before removing the board from its package; this will discharge
any static electricity that may have built up in your body.
• Handle the board by the faceplate or its edges
• Never remove any of the socketed parts except at a static-free workstation.
