Grounding guidelines

Electrostatic discharge damage

Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine

the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many

cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

A discharge of static electricity from a nger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or

microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.

An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be aected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal

cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its

life expectancy.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal components,

observe these precautions:

Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.

Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in

this section.

Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.

If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.

The following table shows how humidity aects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by

dierent activities.

CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.
