Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can
damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent
failures.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it
makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted surface of the
chassis frame or another proper grounding point or surface. Attach it
to the inside bottom of the chassis or to the rear panel (inside or
outside) without making contact with any connectors.
• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle
strap only protects the equipment from ESD voltages on the body;
ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Handle printed circuit board by the edges only; avoid touching the
components, traces, or any connector pins.
• Place a removed card component side up on an antistatic surface or in
a static shielding bag.
• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is
complete.
