What are three tools you can use to protect a system against ESD as you work on it?
Antistatic gloves, ground mats, and ground bracelet. Although the best way to protect your computer from ESD is by using a ground mat with Groug bracelet
Which two tools can a PC support technician use when taking apart a computer to best protect computer components against ESD?
A: it is not actually a tool but a ground wire connected to the earth ground which is connected to the chassis The best way to protect your system against ESD is to use a ground bracelet together with a ground mat. Consider a ground bracelet essential equipment when working on a computer.
Which permanently damages a computer more esd or emi?
esd
What is the proper use of esd tools?
ESD tools are used to prevent damage to electronic components from electrostatic discharge. Proper use includes wearing an ESD wrist strap or heel strap to ground yourself, working on an ESD-safe work surface, and using ESD-safe tools and equipment to handle sensitive electronic components. It is important to follow ESD precautions to avoid damaging electronic devices.
What permanently damages a computer component damage cause by ESD or damage cause by EMI?
ESD
ESD is least likely to cause damage to which components?
esd damage your computer key board and mouse
Which action can reduce the risk of ESD damage when computer equipment is being worked on?
If you properly ground yourself by using a antistatic bracelet (or if you don't have one, just use your hands) to make contact to a unpainted portion of the computer case/chassis (or even the power supply) to discharge any stored electrostatic charge that is on your body.
Which circumstance increase the likelihood of ESD damage to a computer?
A circumstance that increases the likelihood of ESD damage to a computer is working in an area with low levels of humidity.
What can be used to prevents ESd?
Best is to use a grounding mat and an esd strap. Be sure to discharge any static before reaching in to your computer.
Why take ESD precautions before working in a computer system box?
To not damage the computer components.
What is a static shock in a computer caused by?
Electro Static Discharge ESD.
Name three tools that you can use to protect a system against ESD as you work on it?
ANSI/ESD S20.20 covers the requirements of an ESD control program. The fundamental ESD control principles are: - Ground all conductors, including personnel - Insulators are high charging and cannot be grounded. Remove all non-essential insulators. Keep all process essential insulators at least 12" from ESDS or neutralize charges with ionizers - Outside an EPA, ESDS are to be packaged in closed ESD shielding bags or covered containers having shielding properties Grounding works great removing electrostatic charges. If opening a computer and handling circuit boards or electronics, the person should be grounded using a wrist strap connected to the ground of an AC electrical outlet or equipment ground. The ESD sensitive items should be placed on a grounded mat. A good tool to have is a Field Service Kit which includes a mat, a cord to ground the mat, and a wrist strap to ground the person. If attachment to the ground of an AC electrical outlet is not possible, one can use equipotential bonding. "When neither AC equipment [Equipment Grounding Conductor] or auxiliary grounds are available, an equipotential bonding system may need to be used. In this situation, all of the items in the system are bonded together so that the charge that resides on the elements will be shared equally and therefore there will be no potential difference between the items. Once this step has been completed it is safe to handle ESD sensitive parts without inducing damage. A real life example of this is often observed in office equipment field service operations. For safety reasons the service technician will often disconnect the AC power cord which detaches the equipment from ground. In order to safely install ESD sensitive products into the equipment, it is necessary to electrically connect or bond together the service technician, the equipment frame and the ESD sensitive product. Once bonded together an ESD event will NOT occur when the technician handles the product or installs it in the office equipment."
