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 damage.
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.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. W hen unpacking the board, make sure the person
handling it is static protected.
