3. Installing Your LaCie PCI Card

3.1.  Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

IMPORTANT INFO:

 During installation or removal, always 

hold your card by the anti-static gripping pad.

Static electricity is an electric charge caused by an imbalance of 
electrons on the surface of a material. When you touch an object 
and are shocked, this is the transfer of the static charge or the 
balancing of your charge to that of the object. This exchange is 
called Electrostatic Discharge or ESD.

ESD can cause two different types of damage to computers and 
peripherals: (1) Catastrophic, which is the complete loss of de-
vice functionality, and (2) Latent Defect, where the device is only 
partially effected, and the device loses part of its productivity and 
longevity.

Because we cannot eliminate the generation of static electricity, 
it is extremely important to follow the proper steps to ground 
yourself before handling your LaCie USB 2.0 PCI Card or touch-
ing any internal component of your computer. This can be ac-
complished by proper grounding in conjunction with the use 
of ESD safe mats, wrist or shoe straps. Consult your computer 
supply specialist for more details on the correct ESD dissipative 
device to fit your needs.
