Handling Option Cards
Physical Handling
WARNING..
CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN INSERTING OR WITHDRAWING ANY OPTION CARD.
UNDERSIDE COMPONENTS MAY BE PHYSICALLY DAMAGED BY CARELESS HANDLING.
Cards must be inserted and withdrawn slowly whilst ensuring that the card is kept orthogonal (at 90 degrees to the rear of the
unit):
OPTION CARDS SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED IN WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE.
IF ANY SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE TO INSERTING A CARD IS FELT, THE OPERATOR SHOULD WITHDRAW THE CARD SLIGHTLY AND
CHECK FOR ANY OBSTRUCTIONS.
Electrostatic Discharge
WARNING!
Static electricity can damage electronic components. To avoid damage, keep option cards in their static-protective package until you
are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Where possible ensure that antistatic protection is worn by the user (for example an earthed antistatic wrist strap, an ankle
or heel strap).
Handle the Option Card carefully, holding it by its edges or its rear panel.
