- Do not wear an ESD wrist strap when powering on the equipment to prevent an electric shock.
- Do not touch devices with bare hands to prevent damage to the electrostatic sensitive devices (ESSDs) on the circuit boards.
- The electronic line is prone to electrostatic damage. Wear an ESD wrist strap, ESD gloves, and ESD clothing when handling disks, especially bare disks. Hold a disk by its edge.
- Since an ESD wrist strap only prevents static electricity from the body, the ESD clothing is required to prevent static electricity from clothes.
