Publication 1784-IN003A-EN-P - October 2000 Year
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.
Install the Card Inside the Computer
Before you install the card, be certain that you:
•
know how to install hardware in your computer
•
consult your computer’s documentation for hardware installation instructions
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.
TIP
Remember, a computer with ac power disconnected is
not
a
grounded object.
TIP
Installation instructions for both the 1784-PCIC and 1784-PCICS
cards are exactly the same. In most illustrations, the 1784-PCIC
card is shown.
