Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, cards, and other parts. Avid recommends that
you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available,
provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any
unpainted metal surface) on your server when handling parts.
ESD and handling PCIe Cards
Always handle cards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold cards only by their
edges. After removing a card from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the card
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not
the card wrapper. Do not slide the card over any surface.
