Unpacking the Board
Caution:
A discharge of static electricity from your hands can seriously
damage certain electrical components on any circuit board. It is
recommended that you use wrist strap grounds when handling a board. If
wrist strap grounds are not available, make sure that you discharge static
electricity from yourself by touching a grounded conductor such as your
computer chassis (your computer must be turned OFF).
Whenever you handle a board, hold it by the edges and avoid touching
any board components. Avoid touching the gold edge connector as this
may leave fingerprints that can degrade the electrical connections.
To prevent any damage to your DAS-4301/8K board, perform the
following steps when unpacking the board:
1. Remove the wrapped DAS-4301/8K board from its outer shipping
carton.
2. Carefully remove the board from its antistatic wrapping material.
(You may wish to store the wrapping material for future use.)
Note:
Do not remove the pink foam pad. Leave the board on the pink
foam pad until you are ready to install the board in the computer.
