LECTROSTATIC

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 be properly grounded when touching a static-

sensitive component or assembly.

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of

the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-

sensitive parts:

Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord 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.
