Electrostatic discharge

Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when set ing 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:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-protected workstations.
• Place parts in a static-protected area before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge

Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the fol owing methods when handling or 

installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground card to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist 

straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (± 10 percent) resistance in the ground cords. 

To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

• Use heel straps, toe straps or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when 

standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.

• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller 

install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized 

resel er.
