Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive
Parts
Caution
It is highly recommended that you follow industry best practice when handling
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Parts.
• Keep the ESD-sensitive part in a static-protective bag until you are ready
to install the part into the machine.
• Make the fewest possible movements with your body to prevent an
increase of static electricity from clothing, fibers, carpets, and furniture.
• If instructed to do so, switch off the machine power before you remove
ESD-sensitive parts.
• Just before touching the ESD-sensitive part, discharge to the machine any
static electricity in your body by touching the metal frame or cover of the
machine. If possible, keep one hand on the frame when you install or
remove an ESD-sensitive part.
• You may opt to wear an ESD wrist strap.
• Do not place any ESD-sensitive parts on the machine cover or on a metal
table because large metal objects can become discharge paths if they are
not grounded. If you must set aside an ESD-sensitive part, first place it
into the ESD static-protective bag.
• Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other
personnel.
• If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal case.
• Be very careful when you work with ESD-sensitive parts in cold weather.
Low humidity and heating increase static electricity.
