Handling Precautions
Warning:
Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on
the electric device. Before handling any card outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the card or other
computer components:
„
Wear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is
connected to a natural earth ground.
„
Touch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a
water pipe.
„
Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards,
and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
mounting brackets.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.
