Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use. Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap. Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral memory modules or contacts. When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
