3.2.1 Handling ESD-sensitive parts
To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the
usual precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic cards:
.
Put the ESD wrist strap on your
wrist. Connect the wrist band to
the system ground point.
This discharges any static electricity in your
body to ground.
Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its
original shipping container.
(a special "ESD bag") until the part is ready to
be installed
All rights reserved 38 Servicemanual_UR5_en_rev3.1.1
Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edges;
do not touch its pins.
If a pluggable module is being removed, then
use the correct tool.
Step 1:
Put OLD board into spare ESD bag.
Step 2:
Take NEW board out of ESD bag.
All rights reserved 39 Servicemanual_UR5_en_rev3.1.1
Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on
nonconductive material or on a metal table.
If the ESD-sensitive part needs to be put
down for any reason, then first put it into its
special ESD bag
Machine covers and metal tables
are electrical grounds. They
increase the risk of damage
because they make a discharge path from
your body through the ESD-sensitive part.
(Large metal objects can be discharge paths
without being grounded.)
All rights reserved 40 Servicemanual_UR5_en_rev3.1.1
Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel and do not put
unprotected ESD-sensitive parts on a table.
Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-weather and
heating is used, because low humidity increases static electricity.
