To avoid damaging equipment, 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 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.
