2 — Before You Begin
2.3
Safety Precaution
•
Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to install it.
•
Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic components
on your card.
•
Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent such a
damage, you must ground yourself while installing the card:
»
Use a grounding strap, which is a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an
elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach the clip
to any non-painted metal surface of your computers chassis.
»
If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of the
computer's chassis before you begin installation, and again every minute or so
until the installation is completed.
