Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can
result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely affecting an electrical circuit. When
you remove and replace any card from a frame always follow ESD-prevention procedures.
• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord or
any other means if available.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding
clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the
chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be
between 1 and 10 megohms.
• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.
• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.
