Always wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap that is
properly connected to the ESD ground bracket when you service this machine.
This prevents possible damage to the hardware and decreases any possible impact
to your operations.
Purpose
To prevent damage when you work with ESD-sensitive
parts, perform these instructions carefully.
- Never touch or work on any electronic circuits without wearing the ESD
wrist strap.
- Keep the ESD-sensitive part in a special ESD bag until you are ready to
install the part into the machine.
- Make the fewest possible movements with your body to prevent an increase
of static electricity from clothing, fibers, carpets, and furniture.
- If you are instructed to do so, switch off the machine power before you
remove ESD-sensitive parts.
- Just before you touch the ESD-sensitive part, discharge to the machine
any static electricity in your body by touching the metal frame or the cover
of the machine. If possible, keep one hand on the frame when you install or
remove an ESD-sensitive part.
- Do not place any ESD-sensitive parts on the machine cover or on a metal
table because large metal objects can become discharge paths if they are not
grounded. If you must set aside an ESD-sensitive part, first place it into
the special ESD bag.
- Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by others.
- Be very careful when you work with ESD-sensitive parts in cold weather.
Low humidity and heating increase static electricity.
