Safety Precautions

CAUTION: Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts

Many electronic parts use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the
usual precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic boards:

❥ Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special “ESD bag”) until

you are ready to install the part into the machine.

❥ Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent an increase of static

electricity from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.

❥ Use an ESD wrist strap on your wrist if available. Connect the wrist band to the system

ground point. This discharges any static electricity in your body to the machine.

❥ Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector cover; do not touch its pins. If you are

removing a pluggable module, use the correct tool.

❥ Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on any metal surface; if you need to put down the

ESD-sensitive part for any reason, first put it into its special bag.

❥ Metal surfaces are electrical grounds. They increase the risk of damage because they make

a discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large metal objects can
be discharged paths without being grounded.)

❥ Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel.

❥ Take extra care working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold weather heating is used

because low humidity increases static electricity.
