A.1.3 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the system
may result in permanent damage to the system and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the system. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical
that whenever the system is opened and any of the electrical components are handled,
the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
ƒ Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
ƒ Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
ƒ Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
