Its flooring is permanently coated with an electrostatic discharge material, to discharge electrostatic energy and prevent damage to systems and components. Each workstation and burn-in rack is also static dissipative and fully grounded to protect against possible static electricity damage.
Each workstation features a dedicated Keyboard-Video-Mouse switch so that all computers on the technician's rack can be controlled with a single console, which improves manufacturing efficiency while reducing power consumption.
