Attaching the 50-Pin Connector

Installing The Cards

Connect an antistatic wriststrap to the jack marked ESD Strap on the rear of the enclosure. 

Replacement of the internal power supply should be performed by 
qualified service personnel only.

Antistatic Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can 
cause computer components to fail. Electrostatic discharge occurs when a person 
whose body contains a static buildup touches a computer component.

The equipment may contain static-sensitive devices that are easily damaged; 
proper handling and grounding is essential. Use ESD precautionary measures 
when installing parts or cards and keep the parts and cards in antistatic packaging 
when not in use. If possible, use antistatic floorpads and workbench pads.

When handling components, or when setting switch options, always use an 
antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or chassis. If a 
wrist strap is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the 
equipment. Never use a conductive tool, such as a screwdriver or a paper clip, to 
set switches.
