WARNING
Static Discharge
As with most electronic devices, static discharge may damage or degrade
components on a circuit card. When handling a circuit card, the user
should be grounded (e.g. through a wrist strap). Each circuit card is
shipped in an anti-static bag, and should be stored in a similar container
when not installed in the system.
