Inserting and Removing a Control Card
Circuit cards contain static-sensitive circuitry and might be damaged or destroyed by
electro-static discharge (ESD). Always wear the static dissipating wrist strap connected
to the system cabinet or card cage while handling circuit cards. Hold circuit cards by
their edges and avoid touching contact surfaces. Handle with care and do not drop.
Failure to observe safe handling procedures for static sensitive circuitry may result in
permanent damage to a card.
