• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• Place the M.2 storage devices on an anti-static surface or in a static shielding bag. If you have to return
the device to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the device and clothing. The wrist strap protects the device from ESD voltages
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the anti static strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
