Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts
Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive
parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the usual
precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic boards:
•
Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a
special “ESD bag”) until you are ready to install the part into the
printer.
•
Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent
an increase of static electricity from clothing fibers, carpets, and
furniture.
•
Put the ESD wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the wrist band to
the system ground point. This discharges any static electricity in
your body to the printer.
•
Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector shroud
(cover); do not touch its pins. If you are removing a pluggable
module, use the correct tool.
• Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the printer cover or on a
metal table; if you need to put down the ESD-sensitive part for
any reason, first put it into its special bag.
•
Printer covers and metal tables are electrical grounds. They
increase the risk of damage because they make a discharge
path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large
metal objects can be discharge paths without being grounded.)
• Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from touching other personnel.
Install printer covers when not working on the printer, and do not
put unprotected ESD-sensitive parts on a table.
•
Keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal cabinet
(case).
• Low humidity increases static electricity during cold-weather.
