Step 3.

Be sure to touch a grounded metal surface to discharge static
electricity before removing the host adapter board from its
package.

Caution:

You must touch a grounded metal surface before handling

electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by the edge;
do not touch board components or gold connector contacts.
LSI Logic recommends that you use a static ground strap.
