I'm not aware of any component you cannot touch. As long as the power is off and you are grounded properly. You would have to touch any component part in order to replace or upgrade it. When using a Antistatic wrist strap you should always male sure it makes contact your skin properly, if the strap has a crocodile clip at the end make sure it is attached to a suitable grounding point. You can clip it to the PC chassis but make sure the power is off at the wall socket but the plug is left inserted, if you unplug the PC completely there is no grounding.
Saying all this grounding yourself is a bit over rated. I rarely use a grounding wrist strap and have never had an incident.
Jewelry and Antistatic wrist strap
There is a specific kind of bag that is used to store components, but you should not need one unless you are in an extremely static-prone area. Here is a link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_bag
A technician should avoid wearing an antistatic wrist strap when working on equipment that is powered on, as the strap can create a grounding path that might short out components or cause electrical shocks. Additionally, if the technician is working in a highly sensitive environment where static discharge could interfere with the operation of delicate devices, it might be prudent to remove the strap. Lastly, if the technician is in a non-static-sensitive environment, the strap may be unnecessary.
True. Keeping all components in antistatic bags until you are ready to install them helps prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Antistatic bags are designed to dissipate static electricity and protect sensitive electronic components from potential harm. Always handling components by their edges and grounding yourself can further reduce the risk of ESD.
any circuity in a computer shouldn't be handled without a esd(electro-static-discharge) wrap as a safety precaution to prevent damage to components, although there maybe some components which are not sensitive to static. the main parts of the computer which definitely shouldn't be handled without esd wrist straps are high impedance components such as the cpu,gpu or any other flash chips or microprocessors.
•Antistatic monitor wipes or antistatic cloths should be used for cleaning the monitor
There is no such thing as "antistatic electricity". For this reason we can not answer your question.
The other end of an antistatic wrist strap should be connected to a grounded surface, such as a metal part of a computer case or a grounded electrical outlet. This connection helps discharge any static electricity that may build up on your body, protecting sensitive electronic components from potential damage during handling. Ensure that the ground connection is secure and that you are in contact with it while working on electronic devices.
Generally, antistatic work wear is mainly generated from the working environment where it need to prevent the antistatic, specifically, it is the work wear having antistatic performance which is made from conductive material or insulating material, it can take the antistatic out of working through its special material, wipe out the dangerous from electrostatic discharging. Some job have strict request to working environment, clearly stated that it cannot have electrostatic, if having electrostatic will influence the product quality, this is minor matter, if it cause fire disaster even explosion , it will have thread to life safety which is more serious matter. However antistatic work wear comes out , it will be more helpful to solve the electrostatic disturb while working, prevent the electrostatic generate.Which industry need antistatic work wear?Colliery / oil / gas / instrument / chemical and such industry having antistatic requirement, and working environment having powder or easy explosion or easy flaming.What should be noticed while wearing the antistatic clothing?1、During wearing antistatic clothing, it needs to be matched with antistatic shoes.2、After using antistatic clothing, it should be checked in time, if the performance lose efficacy, it cannot be used any more.3、It cannot wearing any metal material on antistatic clothing. Such metal instrument should be put inside the antistatic clothing, forbidden exposure outside.4、Forbidden to put on or put off the work clothing on electrostatic sensitive product site.( should in specified changing room) work clothing 's button should all buckled up, better not let the clothing on loosen status.5、Please buy the antistatic work wear from regular factory, and before using it, we should test the work wear quality, to make sure no risk at all.Antistatic work clothing proceed standardAntistatic work wear style is accordance with national standard GB12014-2009, the feature is :"three tight style"(collar tight/ cuff tight/ sweep tight) upper, bottoms is straight leg pants; coverall clothing. Generally clothing is not using metal auxiliary material, if it really needed, it's surface should add some shelter, metal auxiliary material cannot be exposure outside directly.By YULONG textile
The technician should first ensure they are working on a grounded surface, using an antistatic mat or wrist strap to discharge any static electricity before handling the PCIe video adapter. Additionally, they should avoid touching the gold connectors on the card and handle it by the edges to minimize the risk of damage from static discharge or accidental shorting.
