0.6 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions.
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body may be
more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to observe basic
precautions whenever you use or handle computer components. Although areas with humid climates are much
less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguard against accidents may result in expensive repairs. The
following measures should generally be sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge:
• Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a grounded
wrist strap).
• When unpacking and handling the board or other system component, place all materials on an antic static
surface.
• Be careful not to touch the components on the board.
