Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage when handling electronic equipment, always wear an anti-static wrist strap attached to an unpainted, grounded metal object. Ensure the wrist strap has maximum contact with bare skin. If an anti-static wrist strap is available, discharge static electricity from yourself and your clothing by touching a grounded metal object before handling electronic equipment.
