Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components:
Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:
Figure 1: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
● Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing
components containing ESDs.
● You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
● The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
● Only touch the components at the positions highlighted in green (touch
points).
● Do not touch any exposed pins or conductors on a component.
● Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install components.
● Place all components on a static-safe base.
I You will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (DIN EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).
