Preventing Electrostatic Damage
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 when setting up the system or handling parts:
• 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.
