Discharge

Precautions

Electrostatic discharge can damage the integrated circuits on printed-circuit boards.

To prevent such damage from occurring, be sure to observe the following

precautions when handling and installing boards:

1. Use a grounding mat and an anti-static wrist strap, such as those included in the

ESD Field Service Kit (HP P/N A3024-80004).

2. Wear the anti-static wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic

charge is discharged from you body to ground.

3. Keep uninstalled printed-circuit boards in their protective anti-static bags until

you are ready to install them.

4. Handle printed-circuit boards by their edges after you have removed them from

their protective anti-static bags.
