Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow
when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity
from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-
sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.

To prevent electrostatic damage:

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-
free workstations.

Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
