Handling the Adapter
Attention: Static electricity can damage your equipment. Leave the adapter in its
static-protective bag until you are ready to install it in your computer.
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Be sure you are familiar with all of these precautions. Static electricity can damage
the graphics adapter or other components in your computer.
Attention: Do not open the static-protective bag containing the graphics adapter
until instructed to do so. Do not perform the following steps. This is for
informational purposes only.
To prevent electrostatic discharge:
Ÿ
Turn off all attached devices first; then, turn off the computer.
Ÿ
Unplug all the power cords from electrical outlets before starting installation.
Ÿ
Disconnect all power cables from your computer and attached devices before
starting installation.
Ÿ
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
Ÿ
Handle the graphics adapter carefully and by the edges.
Ÿ
Do not touch any exposed printed circuitry.
Ÿ
Prevent other people from touching the components or the adapter card.
Ÿ
When you are installing the adapter, touch the static-protective package
containing the adapter to a metal expansion-slot screw or other unpainted metal
surface on the computer, for at least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
Ÿ
When possible, remove the graphics adapter and install it directly into the
computer without setting it down. If this is not possible, place the adapter,
component side up, on the static-protective bag on a flat surface until the adapter
card is installed.
Ÿ
Do not place the adapter on the computer cover or on a metal table.
