CAUTION
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit
cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or inter-
mittent failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and
r
eplacing cards.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good
skin
contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the
chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages
to ground.
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist
st
rap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is avail-
able, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
