Unpacking and Handling Procedures
WD controllers are precision instruments and should be handled with care during unpacking
and installation. These devices can be damaged by rough handling, shock and vibration, or
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be aware of the following precautions:
Do not unpack the controller until you are ready to install it. Your controller is packaged
!
in an anti-static bag.
Save the packaging materials and anti-static bag should you need to return your
!
controller. Your warranty will be void if your returned controller is shipped in anything
other than the original packaging or WD approved materials.
To avoid ESD problems, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis of the computer
!
before handling the controller. Articles of clothing generate static electricity. Do not allow
clothing to come in direct contact with the controller.
Handle the controller by its sides only. Avoid touching the circuit board components.
