Safety Information
To ensure your personal safety and the safety of your equipment:
●
Keep your work area and the computer clean and clear of debris.
●
Before opening the system cabinet, unplug the power cord.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Caution:
ESD can damage electronic components when they are
improperly handled, and can result in total or intermittent failures.
Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and
replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
●
Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin
contact. Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted
metal surface on the chassis.
If a wrist strap is not available, ground yourself by touching the metal
chassis before handling the controller or any other part of the computer.
●
Avoid touching the controller against your clothing. The wrist strap
protects components from ESD on the body only.
●
Handle the controller by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching
the printed circuit board or the connectors.
●
Put the controller down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag
supplied in your kit.
●
If you are returning the controller to Adaptec, put it back in its
antistatic bag immediately.
