Handling
Modules should be handled in ESD-safe work areas in order to
prevent damage to sensitive components from electrostatic
discharges. These areas must be designed and maintained to prevent
ESD damage.
ESD Safe Work Area Guidelines
1.
Module should be handled at properly designated work areas
only.
2.
Designated ESD safe work areas must be checked periodically to
ensure their continued safety from ESD. The areas should be
monitored for the following:
a.
Proper grounding methods.
b.
Static dissipation of work surfaces.
c.
Static dissipation of floor surfaces.
d.
Operation of ion blowers and ion air guns.
3.
Designated work areas must be kept free of static generating
materials such as Styrofoam, vinyl, plastic, fabrics, or any other
static generating materials.
4.
Work areas must be kept clean and neat in order to prevent
contamination of the work area.
5.
Modules should be handled by the edges. Avoid touching
component leads.
NOTE:
When not installed in a system, modules must be enclosed
in shielded bags or boxes. There are three types of ESD protective
enclosure materials this module was shipped in an approved ESD
bag.
6.
Whenever handling the module, the operator must be properly
grounded by one of the following:
a.
Wearing a wrist strap connected to earth ground.
b.
Wearing heel grounders and have both feet on a static
dissipative floor surface.
7.
Stacking of modules should be avoided to prevent physical
damage.
