Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow
proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. Kontron strongly encourages
you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing
equipment.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install
the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging,
be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This will discharge any static
electricity that may have built up in your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container
or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic
floor pads and workbench pads.
Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts
on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.
Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
magnetic, or radioactive fields.
