Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic charges can damage the integrated circuits on printed circuit boards.
To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during
board unpacking and installation:
• Stand on a static-free mat.
• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge will be
discharged from your body to ground.
• Connect all equipment together, including the static-free mat, static strap, rout-
ing nodes, and peripheral units.
• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed them
from their protective antistatic bags.
