Observing ESD and Handling Precautions
Caution -
Damage to the Converged Network Adapter can occur as the result of careless
handling or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the adapter with care to avoid damage
to electrostatic sensitive components.
To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, use both a workstation antistatic mat and
an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or
from Oracle as part number 250-1007. Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related
problems:
■
Leave the adapter in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.
■
Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection
when handling the adapter and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.
■
Hold the adapter by the edge of the PCB, not the connectors.
■
Place the adapter on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its
protective antistatic bag.
