6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any
printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The following measures are
generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD discharge.


Precautions

o Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

o Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.

o Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules
or gold contacts.

o W hen handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

o Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

o For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between
the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.
