Question

This is used to prevent ESD damage in computer equipment

Answer 1

Answer:

The best method of preventing ESD is to use an ESD wrist strap, grounding mat, or grounding workbench. However, because most users don't have access to such items, we've included the following steps to reduce the chances of ESD as much as possible.

Tip

If you plan on working on the inside of the computer more than once, we highly recommend purchasing and using an antistatic wristband.

Zero potential - Most importantly, make sure you and the computer are at zero potential by continuously touching an unpainted metal surface of the chassis or the computer power supply case.

Standing - Always be standing when working inside the computer. If you are sitting on a chair or the floor, it can generate more electrostatic.

Cords - Disconnect everything from the back of the computer (e.g., power cord, monitor, and USB cables).

Clothes - Make sure not to wear any clothing that conducts an electrical charge, such as a wool sweater.

Weather - Electrical storms can increase the ESD risk; if it can wait, try not to work on a computer during an electrical storm.

Accessories - To help reduce ESD and help prevent other problems, it is also a good idea to remove all jewelry.

Surface - Standing on a hard surface, and the computer or other electrostatic sensitive devices should be on the table.

When working inside the computer, have at the very least a wrist strap to help protect the sensitive components from ESD damage. If you run a business that deals with lots of sensitive equipment, a grounding mat, and even a grounding table is also highly recommended.

Answer 2

Answer:

An antistatic wrist strap protects computer equipment from ESD damage.

Explanation:

• ESD equipment is a broad term that refers to an apparently endless array of instruments, clothing, gear, and infrastructure used in electrostatically sensitive environments.
• ESD equipment refers to any tool, implementation, or object that is concerned with preventing electrostatic discharge.
• ESD technology is designed to prevent static electricity buildup, safely discharge any static electricity that is generated, and safeguard persons and items from the consequences of an unintentional discharge.
• Antistatic wrist straps in computer equipment protect against ESD damage.
