Static Electricity Precautions
♦
Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and styrofoam in your work area.
♦
Remove the parts from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use them. Do not lay
parts on the outside of antistatic bags since only the inside provides antistatic protection.
♦
Always hold cards by their edges and their metal mounting bracket. Avoid touching
components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect to expansion slots.
♦
Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.
