6.1.3 Inserting an additional expansion card
The graphic cards are made of delicate electronic components that are extremely sensitive
to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static from your clothes or work environment can
destroy them. Transport graphic cards only in the original packaging as delivered from the
manufacturer. Handle them only by their edges and their metal mounting bracket. Do not
touch the components nor the edge connectors that plug into the expansion slots. Use a
grounded workplace and wear a grounding wrist strap; at least, discharge your body's static
electricity by touching a grounded surface, e. g., a properly grounded system’s metal
chassis.
•
Please check first the restrictions given in section 6.1.7 Combination rules before inserting or exchanging an
expansion card.
