To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the
precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or
handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or
other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive
devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
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.
