Handling Precautions
STATIC ELECTRICITY WARNING
This product contains components which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
When the system is assembled and the rear cover is installed, the system is inherently immune to
electrostatic discharge. It is always a good idea to ground yourself to a metal part of the frame before
connecting cables and do not discharge static into a connector.
To protect your system components from electrostatic damage, be sure to observe the following
precautions when handling or storing the boards:
Keep the component in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to perform your installation.
Handle the components by their edges.
Do not touch the I/O connector pins. Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the boards.
Use a grounded wrist strap at your workstation or ground yourself frequently by touching the
metal chassis of the system before handling any components.
Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces.
Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas when handling components.
Transport components in anti-static packaging.
Do not use plastic tape on components.
Do not handle Styrofoam cups when working on the system components.
