15. How can I prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)?

The following are very basic considerations for ESD prevention and you should

consult your computer or mother board manufacturer’s documentation for more

detailed information about taking proper ESD precautions.

Avoid carpets in cool, dry areas. Leave modules in their anti-static

packaging until ready to be installed.

Dissipate static electricity before handling any system components (PC

cards, memory modules) by touching a grounded metal object, such as the

system unit unpainted metal chassis.

If possible, use antistatic devices, such as wrist straps and floor mats.

Always hold a PC card or memory module by its edges. Avoid touching the

contacts and components on the memory module.

Take care when connecting or disconnecting cables. A damaged cable can

cause a short in the electrical circuit.

Prevent damage to the connectors by aligning connector pins before you

connect the cable. Misaligned connector pins can cause damage to system

components at power-on.

When disconnecting a cable, always pull on the cable connector or strain-

relief loop, not on the cable itself.
