CAUTION:
ESD can damage
electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result in total or
intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and
replacing components.
CAUTION:
L'ESD peut
endommager les composants électroniques lorsqu'ils sont mal manipulés, et peut entraîner
des défaillances totales ou intermittentes. Suivez toujours les procédures de prévention
contre les ESD lors du retrait et remplacement des composants.
CAUTION:
Elektrostatische
Entladung (ESD) kann elektronische Bauteile beschädigen, wenn sie unsachgemäß behandelt
werden, und es kann zu totalen oder zeitweiligen Ausfällen kommen. Befolgen sie beim
Entfernen und Austauschen von Komponenten stets die ESD-Schutzmaßnahmen.
To prevent ESD damage:
- Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
- When you are using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when you are using or working on electrical equipment.
- If you do not have a wrist strap, before you remove the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of five seconds.
- Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system.
- With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to the metal frame of the system.
- Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Avoid touching the components and gold connectors on the adapter.
- If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before you pick it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at the same time.
- Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.
