A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 may result in permanent damage
to the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 and sever injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45. Dry climates are especially susceptible
to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 is
opened and any of the electrical components are handled, the following anti-static
precautions are strictly adhered to.
ƒ Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
ƒ Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
ƒ Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
