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 sufcient 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, or

peripheral chips.

•Put the add-on card back into the antistatic bags when not in use.

•For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent

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 your system, make sure that the person handling it

is static protected.

Note: To avoid damaging your components and to ensure proper installa-

tion, be sure to always connect the power cord last, and always remove it

before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
