Unless following ESD precautionary procedures, all users and staff must be
instructed not to connect or to touch (with body or hand-held tools) the pins of
connectors that have the ESD Sensitive Devices symbol:
If the symbol is on a border surrounding multiple connectors, the symbol
pertains to all connectors within the border.
ESD precautionary procedures include the following:
Receive training about ESD, including the following (at a minimum): an
introduction to the physics of electrostatic charge, the voltage levels that can
occur in normal practice, and the damage that can occur to electronic
components if equipment is touched by an individual who is electrostatically
charged.
Prevent the buildup of electrostatic charge; for example, use humidification,
conductive floor coverings, non-synthetic clothing, ionizers, and minimizing
insulating materials.
Ground yourself to discharge any static charge. Use a wrist strap to bond
yourself to earth ground.
