6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent

damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very

carefully.

The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to protect your equipment from

ESD damage.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•

Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •

bag.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

•

memory modules or gold contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

•

Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic •

bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

•

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the serverboard.
