Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you must follow
when setting 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, 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.

Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-
sensitive component or assembly.
