Avoiding Electrostatic
Damage
Guard against electrostatic damage by observing the following
precautions:
CAUTION
ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE COMPONENTS
• Before handling the module, touch a grounded object to
rid yourself of electrostatic charge.
• When handling the module, wear an approved wrist strap
grounding device.
• Handle the module from the front, away from the
backplane connector. Do not touch backplane
connector pins.
