Preventing electrostatic discharge damage
When starting to install interface cards place the interface card on its shielded plastic bag if you lay it on your bench.
CAUTION
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and
impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit
cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or inter-
mittent failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:
•
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and
replacing cards.
•
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good
skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chas-
sis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
•
To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap
and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available,
ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
