3-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid dam-
aging your add-on card, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the add-on card from the
antistatic bag.
•
Handle the add-on card by its edges only; do not touch its components.
•
Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excel-
lent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners,
and the add-on card.
Unpacking
The add-on card is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking your component or system, make sure that you are static protected.
Note:
To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper instal-
lation, always connect the power cord last, and always unplug it before
adding, removing, or changing any hardware components.
