Emergency procedures (without an electrostatic discharge kit)

In an emergency when an electrostatic discharge (ESD) kit is not available, use the following precautions to reduce the possibility of an electrostatic discharge. Ensure that your body and the subassembly are at the same electrostatic potential.

NOTE:These precautions are not a substitute for the use of an ESD kit. Follow them only in an emergency.
  • Before touching any unit, touch a bare (unpainted) metal surface of the cabinet, rack, or enclosure.
  • Before removing any unit from its anti-static bag, place one hand firmly on a bare metal surface of the cabinet, rack or enclosure, and simultaneously, pick up the unit while it is still sealed in the anti-static bag. Simultaneously, do not move around the room or touch other furnishings, personnel, or surfaces until you have installed the unit.
  • When you remove a unit from the anti-static bag, avoid touching any electronic components and circuits on it.
  • If you must move around the room or touch other surfaces before installing a unit, first place the unit back in the anti-static bag. When you are ready again to install the unit, repeat these procedures.
