tracing is merely weakened and does not immediately produce outward symptoms related to the damage. The weakened trace may
take weeks or months to melt, and in the meantime may cause degradation of memory integrity, intermittent memory errors, etc.
The more dicult type of damage to recognize and troubleshoot is the intermittent (also called latent or "walking wounded") failure.
Perform the following steps to prevent ESD damage:
Use a wired ESD wrist strap that is properly grounded. The use of wireless anti-static straps is no longer allowed; they do not provide
adequate protection. Touching the chassis before handling parts does not ensure adequate ESD protection on parts with increased
sensitivity to ESD damage.
Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use anti-static oor pads and workbench pads.
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the anti-static packing
material until you are ready to install the component. Before unwrapping the anti-static packaging, ensure that you discharge static
electricity from your body.
Before transporting a static-sensitive component, place it in an anti-static container or packaging.

ESD eld service kit

The unmonitored Field Service kit is the most commonly used service kit. Each Field Service kit includes three main components: anti-static
mat, wrist strap, and bonding wire.

Components of an ESD eld service kit

The components of an ESD eld service kit are:
Anti-Static Mat – The anti-static mat is dissipative and parts can be placed on it during service procedures. When using an anti-static
mat, your wrist strap should be snug and the bonding wire should be connected to the mat and to any bare metal on the system being
worked on. Once deployed properly, service parts can be removed from the ESD bag and placed directly on the mat. ESD-sensitive
items are safe in your hand, on the ESD mat, in the system, or inside a bag.
Wrist Strap and Bonding Wire – The wrist strap and bonding wire can be either directly connected between your wrist and bare metal
on the hardware if the ESD mat is not required, or connected to the anti-static mat to protect hardware that is temporarily placed on
the mat. The physical connection of the wrist strap and bonding wire between your skin, the ESD mat, and the hardware is known as
bonding. Use only Field Service kits with a wrist strap, mat, and bonding wire. Never use wireless wrist straps. Always be aware that the
internal wires of a wrist strap are prone to damage from normal wear and tear, and must be checked regularly with a wrist strap tester
in order to avoid accidental ESD hardware damage. It is recommended to test the wrist strap and bonding wire at least once per week.
ESD Wrist Strap Tester – The wires inside of an ESD strap are prone to damage over time. When using an unmonitored kit, it is a best
practice to regularly test the strap prior to each service call, and at a minimum, test once per week. A wrist strap tester is the best
method for doing this test. If you do not have your own wrist strap tester, check with your regional oce to nd out if they have one.
To perform the test, plug the wrist-strap's bonding-wire into the tester while it is strapped to your wrist and push the button to test. A
green LED is lit if the test is successful; a red LED is lit and an alarm sounds if the test fails.
Insulator Elements – It is critical to keep ESD sensitive devices, such as plastic heat sink casings, away from internal parts that are
insulators and often highly charged.
Working Environment – Before deploying the ESD Field Service kit, assess the situation at the customer location. For example,
deploying the kit for a server environment is dierent than for a desktop or portable environment. Servers are typically installed in a rack
within a data center; desktops or portables are typically placed on oce desks or cubicles. Always look for a large open at work area
that is free of clutter and large enough to deploy the ESD kit with additional space to accommodate the type of system that is being
repaired. The workspace should also be free of insulators that can cause an ESD event. On the work area, insulators such as Styrofoam
and other plastics should always be moved at least 12 inches or 30 centimeters away from sensitive parts before physically handling any
hardware components
ESD Packaging – All ESD-sensitive devices must be shipped and received in static-safe packaging. Metal, static-shielded bags are
preferred. However, you should always return the damaged part using the same ESD bag and packaging that the new part arrived in.
The ESD bag should be folded over and taped shut and all the same foam packing material should be used in the original box that the
new part arrived in. ESD-sensitive devices should be removed from packaging only at an ESD-protected work surface, and parts should
never be placed on top of the ESD bag because only the inside of the bag is shielded. Always place parts in your hand, on the ESD mat,
in the system, or inside an anti-static bag.
Transporting Sensitive Components – When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be
returned to Dell, it is critical to place these parts in anti-static bags for safe transport.
