Handling the card
Like all cards, Apocalypse 3D can be damaged by electrostatic charges during handling. To
minimize the risk, follow these simple guidelines:
•
Keep the card in its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
•
Just before handling the card, touch the metal frame of your computer with the back of
your hand to discharge any static electricity which may have built up on you or your
clothes.
•
Hold the card by the adapter bracket or by its edges; do not touch the printed circuit
board.
•
Do not place the card on top of your computer or on any other metal surface.
•
Make sure that the card is not accidentally touched by anyone else.
•
Handle the card with care to avoid damage to the fragile electronic components mounted
on the circuit board.
