What is the function of anti static mat?
An anti-static mat is usually made of a conductive plastic. Usually, on one corner there is a snap connector. From that snap connector there is a long, (usually GREEN) wire, as well as a coiled wire that goes to a wrist strap. The green wire goes to the round GROUND connector of an AC wall socket. The coiled wire that goes to a wrist strap goes just like that. Wrap the wrist strap around your wrist. The reason for this setup is, through the green wire to the ground connector, you put both the mat and your body at ground potential. It takes the static electricity from your body,via the wrist strap, and from the mat to ground. Be VERY CAREFULL!! YOU MUST KNOW WHERE THE GROUND IS ON AN AC OUTLET TO USE THIS AS I HAVE OUTLINED. If you do not know where the ground pin is on an AC outlet, you should not use it.

Besides, there are few if any sensitive electronic components inside the power supply unit.In addition, make sure the power supply is not connected to any power before servicing it. If you need to go near any large capacitors, you will want to discharge them. In fact that is a good precaution to take any time you remove the circuit board from the power supply unit.
