Static Discharge Advantages And Disadvantages

3. What is ElectroStatic Discharge(ESD) and how do I prevent it?

It is the release of static electricity when two objects come into contact with each other. ESD first needs a build-up of electrostatic charge. This occurs when two different materials rub together and create friction. One of the materials become positively charged and the other becomes negatively charged. The positively charged material has a electro-static charge. The heat of a ESD is extremely hot. When a charge is released into a electronic device like a expansion card the heat from the electro charge can damage the component and fry it. To prevent ESD from happening many electronic devices are susceptible to low voltage ESD. Like Hard-Drives components are sensitive to only 10 volts. An employee can wear an Anti-Static wrist strap when working with devices or even ESD control footwear. And can then also work on a ESD floor mat that causes the Static charge to go into the ground instead of the electrical component.

Advantages:
• The Anti-static equipment prevents you from damaging your Computer Components
Disadvantages:
• The static discharge is able to go only one way to the ground after you put an ESD mat on a table top with a connecting wire. IF the wire damage or any problem happens in it the static will not able to discharge the ground.
• Damages components and then costs allot of money.

Legacy Bios:
Computers with firmware will
