Electrostatic Discharge Guidelines
ESD can damage processors, circuit cards, and other electronic components. Always observe the
following precautions before installing a system component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling
components. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout
any procedure requiring ESD protection.
3. For detailed instructions, see Static-Sensitive Equipment Handling Procedures on page 5-3.
WARNING! INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICS) ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. UNLESS YOU ARE A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO
USES TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES THAT CONFORM TO ACCEPTED INDUSTRY PRACTICES, DO
NOT HANDLE ICS.
The ESD warning label below appears on packages and storage bags that contain static-sensitive
products and components. Static electricity is always present, and using general anti-static
procedures will minimize the chances of damage to the Wide Bank.
