ESD Precautions

Use ESD
Wrist Strap
1-2
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge
can damage these circuits.
Note
If the shipping carton(s) is/are damaged upon receipt, request that
the carrier's agent be present during the unpacking and inspection
of the equipment.
Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton(s). Refer to the packing
list(s) and verify that all items are present. Save the packing material for
storing and reshipping of equipment.
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system.
Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory
modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
After removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the
system, place the component on a grounded, static-free, and adequately
protected working surface. Do not slide the component over any surface.
In the case of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), place the board with the
component side facing up.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available locally) that is attached
to an active electrical ground.
Note
A system chassis may not be a suitable grounding source if it is
unplugged.
