Installing the SM302 PC1605E card
One of the routine precautions you must be aware of when working with computer components is the
problem of static electric discharge
.
Note:
Leave the PC16052E card in its static-resistant bag until you are ready to install it.
Caution:
Static electricity discharge may permanently damage your system. In order to avoid this
problem during installation procedures, please follow the guidelines below:
•
Discharge any static electricity build up in your body by touching a large grounded metal surface or
the computer’s case (if plugged in), for a few seconds.
•
During installation procedures, avoid any contact with internal parts. Handle cards only by their
edges.
General instructions for installing the board are given since the design of computer chassis varies. Refer
