• Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

• Avoid contact with other people while handling the part.

• Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.

• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even

when you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially

useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.

• Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific

service requirement.

Note:

The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.

– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.

– Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or

battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.

– Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.

Grounding requirements

Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper
grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.
