Handling the Card
Take these precautions to guard against ESD damage:
•
Before you handle the card, touch a grounded object to discharge
and built-up static charge.
•
Avoid touching the backplane connector or interface connector pins
located on the card.
•
If the card is not in use, store it in the anti-static clamshell that the
card was shipped in.
Important: Remember, a computer with ac power disconnected is not a
grounded object.
!
ATTENTION: The card uses CMOS technology, which is highly
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD may be present
whenever you handle the card. When you handle the card without
any ESD protection you can cause internal circuit damage that may
not be apparent when you install or initially use the card.
