Take Anti-static Precautions
Static electricity can damage the components inside a computer or on a printed circuit card. To reduce the
possibility of electrostatic discharge:
♦
Turn off power to the computer.
CAUTION: Physically remove the power cord from the system and wait 15 to 30 seconds for
standby power to dissipate. Damage can occur to add-in components if power is not
physically removed from the system during installation procedures.
♦
Touch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off any static electricity before
touching the card.
♦
Wear a properly connected grounding wrist strap when handling the card or working in
the computer.
♦
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
♦
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
♦
Keep the card in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
♦
Handle the card as little as possible and only by the edges.
