Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of different
electrostatic potentials, suchas an operatorand a piece ofelectrical equipment. Itoccurs when electronic
components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry
atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
Step 1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
Caution To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
Always observe the warnings in the preceding section, “Safety.”
Step 2 Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable
attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the
cable.
Note This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohms).
