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.
