Handling the Interface Card
The interface card contains components that are easily damaged by static electrical discharge
caused by improper handling. To minimize the risk of component damage, the interface is
shipped in a special conductive plastic bag for protection. Do not remove the interface from the
bag until it is to be installed. When installing the interface, be sure there is no opportunity to
create a static discharge. Hold the interface by the thumbscrews and backplane cover while
removing it from the bag, and avoid touching the circuitry on the card. Touch the metal surface
on the computer rear cover panel with one hand and maintain that contact while plugging the
interface into the computer with the other hand. After the interface is seated into the backplane
connector, the risk of damage is negligible. Whenever you need to remove the card from the
computer for service or system changes, keep the card in its protective bag to prevent compo-
nent damage, or place the interface on a work surface designed for servicing static-sensitive
electronic components and assemblies.
Be careful to avoid touching the printed circuit edge connector fingers on the interface. Finger-
prints promote contamination that can lead to unreliable operation. If it becomes necessary to
clean the fingers, use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to avoid the possibility of
electrostatic discharges while cleaning the connector fingers; both for safety, and to prevent
component damage.
