Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to
follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static
electricity from a finger or other conductor can damage system boards or other
static-sensitive devices. This type of damage can 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.
