viii        PCI-DIO16 User’s Guide

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

n

To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds 
after turning off the computer before removing a component, removing 
a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the 
computer.

n

When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-
relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with 
locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the 
locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors 
apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. 
Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are 
correctly oriented and aligned.

 Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD 
workstation and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to 
components. ICS Advent strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD 
procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing 
equipment. The ESD Grounding Receptacle on the chassis provides a 
convenient, secure place to insert an ESD grounding strap.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic 
discharge (ESD):

n

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping 
carton, do not remove the component’s antistatic packing material 
until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before 
unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD 
workstation or grounded.

n

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an 
antistatic container or packaging.

n

Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, 
use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

n

Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components 
or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal 
mounting bracket.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as 
explained in this manual. Follow installation and 
troubleshooting instructions closely.
